Boston Public Schools - Dorchester
Two teachers are currently working to transform a courtyard space at their school, UP Academy in Dorchester (Boston) MA, into an outdoor classroom/dining room surrounded by gardens. The garden is used during school hours and for after school and summer programs. They would like to build the garden with kids and volunteers from the local community.
To prepare the site for construction, some tree work is necessary:
Remove a Bradford Pear, Ginkgo and some other small trees.
Prune low branches and dead wood out of a few mature trees.
This project will benefit numerous students, throughout their school careers, so your volunteer efforts will have a long term positive impact.
Thank you.
