Summary of Projects

The group received a grant in 2004 through the Boston Grants Initiative to work towards the transition of the Southwest Corridor Park to being pesticide-free, and establishing a comprehensive no-spray policy for local mosquito control. In 2005 NPAC used BGI funding to establish an organic pest management policy on the SW Corridor Park and in Jamaica Plain's parks and open spaces as a pilot for the rest of Boston.

Other grant were awarded some time ago and the details haven't been uploaded to our online system. If you'd like to learn more, contact us (info@grassrootsfund.org) and we'll fill in the blanks.
