Residents are invited to join Ward Captains and City officials in each of the City’s seven wards to help prepare the city for the spring and summer by planting flowers, weeding open spaces, and otherwise cleaning our community following the long winter months. T-shirts will be provided to all participants from 10 a.m. to noon at all cleanup locations. All participants are invited to a community barbecue immediately following the cleanup from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Blessing of the Bay Boathouse on Shore Drive. The community barbeque will feature interactive activities for children and adults including tide pool animal petting zoo with the New England Aquarium, electric car viewing with Mass Energy, mobile library with Somerville Public Library and other local environmental organizations with information sustainability.
