Volunteers from several organizations did clean up work in the bucolic and long troubled Vernon Park on Wednesday. The park has been cleaned before, but some see the recent efforts as something significantly different.
“We’re a coalition of different groups,” said Sue Finch as she worked mulch around some plants. “The Friends of Vernon Park and the rest are people called stakeholders, people in lots of different organizations.”
