Thanks to all the volunteers who came out during Mayor’s Week of Service!

  • 51 Trees Planted and Mulched! Louisville Police Officers (D2) and Hogan Lovell law firm shoveled dirt and mulch to bring more beauty to Algonquin Park.
  • 44 Hours Removing Invasive Plants! Thanks to Brown-Forman and our Park Stewards, Seneca Park has less bush honeysuckle.
  • 115 Healthy Trees! Mulched trees are healthy trees. Accenture, Bellarmine Rugby Club and Louisville Police Officers (D1) spread mulch around park trees in Boone Square and Iroquois Park.
  • 61 Students Helped! Students from Rutherford Elementary and Sacred Heart Academy spent their time field trip cleaning up around Chickasaw and Iroquois Parks.

TOTAL FOR THE WEEK: 373 hours given, 7 projects completed in 5 parks by 154 volunteers!

Thank you for enhancing the Olmsted Parks!
