Tri-Community Greenway Placemaking Grant Project Community Service Volunteer Opportunity

The Tri-Community Greenway is a 12.7 mile moderately trafficked multi-use trail the runs through the communities of Stoneham, Woburn and Winchester. Officially opened in June 2019, the Greenway offers scenic views and its trail is primarily used for walking, nature trips, and road biking.

The Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® recently applied for and received $3,500 from the National Association of RELATORS® Placemaking Grant program, which it combined with its own community service funds, to provide amenities to the Greenway. The enhancements include the addition of picnic tables and bike racks, as well as the planting of trees and shrubs.

GBAR is looking for a minimum of 20-25 member volunteers to assist in the installation of these items at two different Greenway site locations in Stoneham – at its intersection with Montvale Avenue and along Pomeworth Street – On Saturday, October 17 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Rain Date is October 24). Volunteers are needed for four specific tasks: assembling picnic tables, assembling and installing bike racks, planting trees and shrubs, and cleaning up litter along the trail. All materials and refreshments will be provided. Face masks are required to be worn by all volunteers. For questions or to sign-up as a volunteer, contact Kevin Butler at [email protected].
