WPC Volunteers Prepare to Plant More Than 400 Community Gardens in Spring of 2003
Community greening projects would not be possible without a dedicated core of volunteers. These grassroots initiatives serve as a forum for instilling a volunteer ethic in our youth as well as attracting volunteers from all walks of life. In one Allegheny County community more than 100 seventh graders from the school's "Green Team" gather annually to transform a busy intersection into a lush and sprawling flowerbed. The experience gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and motivates them to seek out other volunteering opportunities.
Pictured above are volunteers planting near the Carnegie Museum in Oakland.
