Pollinator Garden Planted at Glendell Terrace

We’re thrilled to share that, thanks to a fantastic collaboration with interns from the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, Springfield City Forestry, and our Green Corps and Green Skills Programs, we’ve transformed Glendale Terrace in the Historic Forest Park Neighborhood into a vibrant, green oasis!

Created a new pollinator garden that’s a haven for bees, butterflies, and birds. This project has truly enhanced our neighborhood, adding beauty and joy to our community. A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life;your dedication and hard work made all the difference!

We also want to acknowledge the Springfield Community Preservation Committee and the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission for their generous funding and continued support of our city’s green spaces.
