Groundwork Somerville seeks bikes for Green Team!

Our high school Green Team is lucky enough to engage 25 young people in our high school summer employment program, the Green Team! We bike to all of our sites, and some of our young employees do not own bikes. Thus our plea to you all: If you have an unused bike that is still in ride-able shape, please send it our way! Email jllawrence@groundworksomerville.org for more information.

Two-day maple syrup "boil down"

Groundwork Somerville member Aviva Asher displays the results of a two-day maple syrup "boil down" at the Somerville Community Growing Center March 14. On Friday, two hundred students came to watch the process unfold and help collect sap from one of the center's trees.

The 80 gallons of sap collected, which came mostly from trees at Tufts University, yielded two gallons of syrup.
