The Community Assistance Team visited Victory Park, one of the Keansburg parks affected by Sandy, with a team member from Holmdel Helps, a non-profit dedicated to Sandy recovery efforts. The chapter plans to expand the PARK(ing) projects annually with more member support. With help from New Brunswick officials, the students smoothly managed this successful event. Rutgers Gardens supplied mulch, plantings and a final home for donations, and Tom Walsh of Parker Urban Greenscapes provided a handsome green wall. The student chapter team included Alexandra Duro, Gwen Heerschap, Kim Richmond, Brian Maher, Sandra Grosso, Sara Yildirim, Eugene Hernandez, Mark Lacey, Mike Young, Arturo Sangregorio and Jack Peters. The sustainable design, with recycled wood pallet planters and seating, delighted passers-by with a living, "urban green space" message. Bloustein School students partnered to turn a Bayard Street parking space into a green space for an entire day in New Brunswick, N.J. On September 20th, Rutgers University student chapter and E.J. Park(ing) Day is a worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks.
