Earth Day 2012: Living Innovations Volunteers Clean Up Portsmouth Playground
A group of volunteers from Living Innovations spread 60 yards of wood chips at the South Playground in Portsmouth on Monday, April 16, 2012 as part of their Earth Day Cleanup activities. “These volunteers are a tremendous help to the City. This is not just busy work; it frees up Public Works employees to do other jobs,” according to Everett Kern, General Foreman, Portsmouth Public Works Department. Portsmouth Public Works supplied the rakes and gloves, and Living Innovations volunteers supplied the labor and enthusiasm.
