Join Love Your Block for a top soil rebuilding project in the South End neighborhood! We will be layering burlap sacks, compost and mulch to create an organic barrier for a resident with elevated levels of lead in their backyard. We will then be planting grass seeds, adding straw on top, and watering.
All tools and materials will be provided. There will be no lunch break but snacks and water will be available along with gardening gloves.
Transportation will not be provided to this event, but this location is accessible by bus. If you would like to attend but are struggling to find a way to get there, please reach out to the site supervisor, Erin Johanns, at ejohanns@albanyny.gov and 518-434-5281 so we can help solve this issue.
