Last week we were so proud to celebrate our amazing Terracorps Community Engagement Coordinator, Grace Rumowicz, as her service term with us has come to an end. Grace has been instrumental to building out our volunteer and educational programming in the Alewife, building organizational capacity, and bringing humor and joy to our day to day life at Green Cambridge! While we will miss her dearly, we are excited see her continue to grow through all her future endeavors.

On Friday Green Cambridge was joined by a great group of volunteers in doing a trash clean up and Biodiversity Walk in the Alewife Brook Reservation, while collecting trash in the Alewife participants learned how to ID native and invasive plants while learning about some of the history of the reservation.

It was a beautiful day out and it was great so see so many community members including some baby ducks enjoying the warm weather, thank you so much to our awesome volunteers for joining us!
