Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and Patrick Sullivan, Executive Director of the Department of Parks, Buildings and Recreation Management and City Councilor Adam Gomez joined Regreen Springfield President Dave Bloniarz and employees from Berkshire Bank for an afternoon of planting trees and pollinator plants at Springfield’s Kenefick Park.
This event was part of the Berkshire Bank’s Xtraordinary Day of giving, in which the bank closes its entire network of offices at noon, and employees work on various community projects across the region. From 12:30 to 4:00 p.m., 48 volunteers worked at Kenefick Park to plant nearly 500 perennial plants and 35 shade and ornamental trees.
