Thank You Cleanup Volunteers!
On April 26th, the Esplanade Association, in partnership with the Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA), hosted the annual Charles River Cleanup. Despite the rain and chilly temperatures, over 300 volunteers came out to the Esplanade to rake, pick up trash, and cut invasive plants along the shoreline.
We would like to thank all of our volunteers for their dedicated efforts. Because of you, the park is cleaner and more beautiful for everyone!
