A big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Earth Day with us here in Patterson Park! At our Saturday event, we planted 28 beautiful trees in the annex, cleaned the Castle Playground, picked up trash from the boat lake, and did a park-wide trash cleanup with the help of our partner, Chispa Maryland!
We also had 4 corporate groups come out during the week before and after Earth Day to do additional trash pick up, weed trees, and clean the Observatory. Thank you to the volunteers from CPower Energy, GWWO Architects, Arch Insurance, and MECU Credit Union, for using your time to care for Patterson Park!
Additionally, we dedicated our first ever “Earth Day Community Tree” inside the park at the Lombard St/S Patterson Park Ave entrance. This tulip poplar was planted and dedicated in celebration of some special individuals in the community. More info on this program is here.
