Workday at 7341 Bennett Street

Description

Allegheny County has over 60,000 vacant lots. Most are overgrown and unmaintained. The majority of these vacant lots are concentrated in black and brown communities that happen to also below-income. This is an environmental and racial justice emergency. Grounded elevates the voices of community champions and supports their ongoing efforts to reclaim and steward these abandoned spaces. You make this work possible. This workday will be supporting a vacant lot in Homewood, which one of our stewards, Verna Adams, regularly keeps up. The goal is to create two mound gardens on the front of the site, clean up the existing mound of debris in the back of the site, and work to create raised tire gardens to line the back of the site. Tools, gloves, and water will be provided but feel free to bring extra water and sun protection if you need it! If you have any questions feel free to contact Project Coordinator, Aubrey Bloxdorf.
