Nearly 200 Volunteer At BAPA's 'Clean And Green'
Volunteers spent much of their Saturday morning cleaning and sprucing up parks in Beverly and Morgan Park.

CHICAGO, IL - Nearly 200 people helped clean out and garden at several spots in the Beverly/Morgan Park neighborhood as part of the Beverly Area Planning Association's neighborhood-wide "Clean & Green" event on April 21.
Volunteers showed up early that Saturday morning at several parks, train stations and other key locations in the neighborhood.
"Beautification is a key part of BAPA’s mission and we could not do these projects without the help of our hardworking, dedicated neighbors," BAPA wrote in their weekly Villager news release.
