We are also working on a local project in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood in Boston. We have partnered with The Emerald Necklace Conservancy along with several professors and professional advisors to collaborate on two main projects. The projects are based in Olmsted Park and Jamaica Pond, where we are helping to work on erosion control and runoff issues. This project provides the exciting opportunity for anyone in the club to get hands-on experience with the design and construction process. We have been given a lot of freedom for this project and we are excited to work together to find a sustainable solution for these issues.
