Join the Lex & 3rd Block Association (L3BA) + Big ReUse at Open Streets on 100th Street & Lex for a day of urban stewardship and community fun!
As part of our vibrant Open Streets activities, we are seeking volunteers for a day of community action. We are inviting families, students, youth groups, and neighbors to help beautify our local street tree beds.
Our activities are about revitalizing our neighborhood and honoring the trees that provide us with essential oxygen, shade, and beauty. Trees are sentient beings that deserve our respect and care; life in a concrete environment is difficult, yet they persevere. By coming together to clean, mulch, and plant, we aim to transform our local streets into thriving focal points that make our neighborhood even more welcoming for everyone.
