The Friends of Pelham Parkway led by Roxanne Delgado, students from the Collegian Academy of the Columbus Campus, Councilman Mark Gjonaj, and even a couple of Bronx Park workers converged on the Pelham Parkway area by Wallace Avenue for a spring cleaning and mulching of the area.
Rakes, shovels, gloves, and even a truckload of mulch was brought by Partnership for Parks and the Parks Department. Mulch was brought over to trees to be placed around as many as possible by the group. Dead leaves were picked up, and rose bushes were trimmed for the upcoming spring warm weather.
