The project is the townwide commitment to reimagine the waterfall and the surrounding natural area. The goal is to preserve, protect and beautify the environmentally sensitive site on the GHS campus. It is also a public/private partnership working in cooperation with the Greenwich Board of Education, the Greenwich Sustainability Committee and the residence and businesses of Greenwich. Those interested can register here or join at the signup table on June 18 at the waterfall area. All ages are welcome. Volunteers are encouraged to bring heavy duty gloves for removal of invasives. However, they will be available on site. Long pants and socks will help avoid poison ivy.
