Celebrate Earth Day and volunteer to beautify Mianus River Park on Saturday, April 27. The town of Greenwich Parks and Recreation Foundation will hold its Second Earth Day Beatification of Mianus River Park Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to noon. Volunteers should plan on meeting at the Cognewaugh Street-entrance of the park. Â Due to limited parking, carpooling is encouraged.
Morning activities include planting trees along the trail’s entrance, native plantings in the circle of the parking lot, removal of invasive, winged euonymus species as needed, lining the trails with stray logs/larger branches, removal of debris from the first drainage area, planting trees along the trails, and debris pick-up as needed.
The Parks Department will provide shovels, hand shears, rakes, hand saws and garbage bags. Volunteers are asked to bring their tools if they have them.
“We invite the community to come and give back to the town parks that have given us so much,” said Parks and Recreation Director Joe Siciliano. “If you haven’t been to Mianus River Park in a while, the Earth Day Clean-Up and Beautification is an excellent opportunity to discover it again.”
The Mianus River Park consists of 109.7 acres in the Mianus/upper Cos Cob neighborhood of Greenwich and 110.3 acres in adjacent Stamford.
