AS ONE OF THE FIRST ORGANICALLY-MAINTAINED PUBLIC PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSERVANCY USES ECOLOGICAL AND ORGANIC LANDSCAPE PRACTICES THAT ARE INNOVATIVE, AWARD-WINNING, AND FISCALLY SOUND; OUR PLANTS ARE HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT, AND BETTER ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE STRESSES OF PUBLIC USE AND THE DEMANDS OF AN URBAN SETTING. OUR LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS GUIDED BY THE ECOLOGY OF OUR PARK. OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, THE HORTICULTURE TEAM HAS BUILT THE PARK'S SOIL ECOLOGY BY BREWING AND APPLYING ORGANIC COMPOST TEA. OUR HORTICULTURE IS INCREASINGLY ROBUST AND RESILIENT THROUGH OUR ADDITIONS OF MORE NATIVE SPECIES AND WORK ADAPTING TO CHANGING SUN/SHADE PATTERNS. NOW THAT THE PARK IS ESTABLISHED, WE ARE SHIFTING OUR FOCUS TO UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR PARK'S ECOLOGY, TAILORING OUR MAINTENANCE EFFORTS TO ITS NEEDS, REDUCING INPUTS AND CONSERVING WATER WHEREVER POSSIBLE. WE ARE DEDICATED TO THE PRACTICE OF ECOLOGICAL HORTICULTURE TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN RESILIENT LANDSCAPES THAT PROVIDE VITAL ECOLOGICAL SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2022 WE RELOCATED OUR COMPOST TEA OPERATION FROM THE NORTH STREET GARAGE TO A BREWING FACILITY LOCATED BEHIND MASSDOT'S BUILDING. WE USED OUR COMPOST TEA TO ADMINISTER DEEP ROOT INJECTIONS TO THE GREENWAY'S TREES. BY INFUSING MICROBIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS INTO THE SOIL FROM WHICH THE TREES DRAW THEIR NUTRIENTS, WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD A HEALTHY SOIL ECOLOGY IN ADDITION TO FEEDING THE PLANTS THEMSELVES. WE SWITCHED FROM USING GRANULAR FERTILIZER TO EXCLUSIVELY USING COMPOST TEA FERTILIZER, AKA FOLIAR FEEDING, FOR THE LAWNS. BY SPRAYING THE GRASS WITH LIQUID FERTILIZER, THE PLANT ABSORBS MORE NUTRIENTS THROUGH ITS LEAVES, AND THE EXCESS PERMEATES THE SOIL, RESULTING IN A MORE EFFICIENT FERTILIZING METHOD. THE CONSERVANCY PARTICIPATED IN AND PUBLICIZED PLANTLIFE'S NO MOW MAY, AN INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT POLLINATORS, REDUCE LAWN INPUTS, AND GROW HEALTHIER LAWNS. NO MOW MAY, FIRST POPULARIZED IN EUROPE, CHALLENGES LANDSCAPERS AND HOMEOWNERS TO LET THEIR LAWNS GROW FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY WITHOUT MOWING. IN AREAS OF THE GREENWAY THAT DON'T SEE MUCH TRAFFIC, WE EXPERIMENTED BY ALLOWING GRASSES TO GO TO SEED TO SUPPORT NATIVE POLLINATORS. THE RESULTS WERE AESTHETICALLY VARIED LAWN AREAS THAT PROVIDE A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR POLLINATORS. OUR HORTICULTURE TEAM INSTALLED THE PLANT BEDS OF THE NEW NORTH MEADOW ON THE GREENWAY, WHICH OPENED IN THE SUMMER. THE PARK'S NATIVE MEADOW PLANTINGS ARE A TRIBUTE TO THE CHARLES RIVER'S ESTUARINE ECOLOGY. THE CONSERVANCY'S URBAN ORCHARD AND EDIBLE GARDENS IN DEWEY SQUARE PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 200 LBS. OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY YEAR. IN 2022, WE DONATED THIS PRODUCE TO ST. FRANCIS HOUSE, A NEARBY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES 500 INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS EACH DAY. OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATE, NON-PROFIT, ACADEMIC, AND OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS TO EXPERIENCE HANDS-ON LEARNING WHILE THEY ASSIST US WITH PARK STEWARDSHIP. IN 2022, WE SAW A STRONG RETURN OF CORPORATE GROUPS AND BEGAN WORKING WITH VOLUNTEER TOUR GUIDES AND OFFICE ASSISTANTS AGAIN, ENGAGING 584 INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTED 3,310 HOURS TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL ASSISTANCE. ON THE STRENGTH OF REVIEWS FROM VOLUNTEERS, THE CONSERVANCY HAS WON THE "TOP RATED AWARD" FROM GREATNONPROFITS.ORG TWELVE YEARS RUNNING. MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL PROJECTS OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM CARES FOR SIX FOUNTAINS, ACRES OF GRANITE PAVING AND PRECAST UNIT PAVERS, COMPLEX LIGHTING SYSTEMS, THE CAROUSEL AT TIFFANY GROVE AND MORE, AND SUPPORTS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PROGRAMS AND PUBLIC ART AND COLLABORATES WITH THE HORTICULTURE TEAM FREQUENTLY. THIS TEAM ALSO OVERSEES OUR CONTRACTED BASIC MAINTENANCE INCLUDING LAWN MOWING, LITTER AND TRASH REMOVAL, POWER WASHING, AND SNOW REMOVAL. IN 2022, MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND SUPERVISED REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE GREENWAY, WORKING WITH PANDEMIC SAFETY PROTOCOLS AS REQUIRED. IN THE NORTH END, WE BEGAN MAINTENANCE OF NEWLY COMPLETED NORTH MEADOW ON THE GREENWAY (PARCEL 2), SUPERVISED THE REPOINTING OR RESEALING OF JOINTS IN PAVERS IN SEVERAL AREAS IN THE FOUNTAINS AND PATHS. THE SAND MEDIA IN THE FOUNTAIN FILTERS WAS REPLACED WITH GLASS BEAD MEDIA WHICH REMOVES SMALLER PARTICLES AND INHIBITS BACTERIAL GROWTH MORE EFFECTIVELY. IN THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE GREENWAY, THE MAINTENANCE TEAM OVERSAW THE REPAIR AND RESURFACING OF ALL THE CAROUSEL CHARACTERS WHICH EMPLOYED A MORE DURABLE PAINT. THE OPENINGS IN THE PAVEMENT AROUND ALL THE TREES IN THE TIFFANY GROVE WERE ENLARGED TO ACCOMMODATE EXPANDING TREE ROOTS. THE MAHOGANY BENCHES, RAILING AND TICKET BOOTH TRIM WERE GIVEN THEIR ANNUAL SANDING AND OILING. IN RINGS FOUNTAIN, ALL PENETRATIONS IN THE EQUIPMENT VAULT WALLS WERE SEALED AS PART OF ONGOING CLIMATE RESILIENCE MEASURES. FOR THE SAME REASON, THE HARBOR FOG EQUIPMENT VAULT HATCH WAS REPLACED WITH ONE THAT IS WATER TIGHT. MASONRY REPAIRS SUCH AS RESETTING OF LOOSE PAVERS AND RE-MORTARING AND RE-CAULKING OF PAVER JOINTS OCCURRED WHERE NEEDED. FAILING BIKE RACKS WERE REPLACED ADJACENT TO THE CAROUSEL AND ACROSS FROM ROWES WHARF, CONTINUING OUR STANDARDIZATION OF BIKE RACKS THROUGHOUT THE GREENWAY. FURTHER SOUTH, SOME OF THE BENCHES IN THE FORT POINT AREA WERE REPLACED. THE GRAVEL ACCESS ROAD ON DEWEY WAS REGRADED AND NEW GRAVEL ADDED. 8 NEW BENCHES WERE INSTALLED IN DEWEY PLAZA. A NEW CONTEMPORARY PICNIC TABLE AND BENCHES, WITH A SEPARATE HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE TABLE AND BENCHES WERE FABRICATED IN-HOUSE AND INSTALLED IN THE DEMONSTRATION GARDEN AREA OF THE DEWEY PARCEL. IN CHIN PARK, THE MAINTENANCE TEAM DESIGNED, FABRICATED AND INSTALLED A WATER MISTING STATION AND INSTALLED A WATER BUBBLER. THE MAINTENANCE TEAM HOSTED THREE GROUP VOLUNTEER EVENTS THAT INCLUDED STONE DUST PATH REJUVENATION. IT ALSO ASSISTED THE HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENT BY BUILDING 8 POLLINATOR HOUSES AND 3 ELM BARK BEETLE TRAPS. IN 2022, THE MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL PROJECTS STAFF WORKED TOGETHER TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF INTEGRATING CMMS SOFTWARE INTO DAILY OPERATIONS. CAPITAL PROJECTS OVERSAW THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE NORTH MEADOW ON THE GREENWAY AND GROUNDBREAKING OF THE CHIN PARK LIGHTING PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED EARLY IN 2023. OUR PRIVATELY FUNDED PARK RANGERS PROVIDE SECURITY AND AMBASSADORSHIP ON THE GREENWAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. TWO NEW PARK RANGERS WERE HIRED IN EARLY 2022 AND REMAINED WITH THE CONSERVANCY THROUGHOUT 2022.
