Greetings all - 

Here are a few neighborhood activities you can get involved in and make new friends! 

Join the Watering Team for Historic Wooster Square Park Trees 🌳

🌳 New neighbors have moved into Wooster Square Park and they need your help! 🌳

We're looking for volunteers to water the newly planted trees as they get established and put down roots in our community. Each tree needs 25 gallons, once a week, but you'll only need to commit 2 hours at a time! Equipment and instructions are provided and flexible scheduling can be tailored to find a time that works for you.

This is a community partnership between the Historic Wooster Square Association, the Wooster Square Conservancy, the New Haven Parks Department, Urban Resources Initiative, and neighbors like YOU!

Join your neighbors for community beautification! We'll walk together along Grand Avenue, picking up litter and tidying our streets. We'll supply the tools. Gather at Jitter Bus Cafe at 2pm. This is a partnership among Ward 8 Alder Mandy Martinelli, Upon This Rock Ministries, and the Historic Wooster Square Association. See the flyer attached for details.
