We love the Charles River Conservancy. and who wouldn’t?  (See good works below).  Join the Conservancy and Mahoney’s next Saturday, October 16, when volunteers gather to plant daffodil bulbs in Herter Park (in Boston).  Our job is to plant several hundred daffodil bulbs (large ones, mind you, not your tiny crocuses), and volunteers are reminded that they’ll be getting dirty.  But as they say on their information for volunteers, getting dirty is “half the fun!”  No disagreement from us.

To volunteer, contact the Conservancy’s Volunteer Coordinator Logan Walsh at lcw [at] thecharles [dot] org or by phone at (617) 300-8173.

Mahoney’s is happy to be sponsoring the Conservancy’s 2010 Daffodil Bulb Planting Campaign, which will result in 10,000 bulbs being planted this month and next.  Added to the 10,000 planted last year, the show of color along the banks of the river next spring should be jaw-dropping!

On-Going Work of the Charles River Conservancy
Yearly the Conservancy brings together over 2,500 volunteers to perform vital maintenance work and building permament improvements in the parklands - work like planting bulbs, painting park benches, removing invasive species and trimming brush.  Since 2002, over 16,000 Conservancy Volunteers have contributed over $1 million of donated labor to improve the health, safety, and beauty of the Charles River Parklands.  For information about all the Conservancy’s programs, just click here.
