Robert’s Field – June 24, 2016
The Education Services Giveback team had a Giveback event at Robert’s Field in Chelmsford on June 24. The organization, Friends of the Roberts Field was founded in 2013 to encourage greater appreciation and public use of the Chelmsford, Massachusetts park located at 260 Old Westford Road. The volunteer organization is comprised of neighbors and residents committed to enhancing and protecting Roberts Field Park for the enjoyment of everyone. Our team was asked to build a bridge in a sensitive walking trail area where there tends to be some water flow in the spring. Also, establish a new pollinator garden using plants that the Friends of Roberts Field had collected.
The team was interested in this event because it supported Chelmsford’s efforts to preserve and beautify their open spaces for the community to enjoy. It was also good to get out in the nice weather and to work as a team to improve the community. We completed the bridge, re-located and planted sod removed to make the pollinator garden and planted the pollinator garden with donated plants. We all had a sense of satisfaction with the results and the folks at Robert’s Field were very appreciative. Kronites taking part in the event were Alicia Alcaino, Lyn Bennett, Susan Charest, Alex Cote, Tom Hanlon, Jon King, Colene MurphyLessard and Roger Tremblay.
