For those of you interested in attending the Charles River Restoration
this Saturday, here's the final info. We'll leave at 9:30AM from 77 Mass
Ave, so let's all meet there a little early. <br>
Bring a bag lunch! I'll probably provide a few snack-like goodies, as
well.<br>
We'll be pruning plants.<br>
If you can't stay the whole time, no problem! Feel free to come anyway
(just let me know if you want to come late and meet us there).<br><br>

<font face="Times, Times" size=4>Hi Jessica, Michael, and
Chris,</font><br>
<font face="Times, Times" size=4>Thanks for bringing a group of
volunteers this Saturday to help out along the Charles River! We'll
be working on the Boston side of the river, upstream from the Harvard
Bridge (Mass Ave) close to BU. <br>
Please make sure everyone in your group<b> brings a bag lunch</b>!
Also make sure everyone brings water, as there are no water fountains
nearby. <br>
This event is<b> rain or shine</b>! So far the forecast for Saturday
looks good, but please make sure that everyone in your group knows to
dress for the weather. Please also tell everyone to wear sneakers
and long pants. </font><br>
<font face="Times, Times" size=4>Emily Twiss, another CRC staff person,
will be running the event this weekend. If you need to reach her on
Saturday morning with any questions before the event, her cell # is
617-851-6269. If the size of your group changes drastically from what
we've already discussed, please let either myself or Emily know ahead of
time so that we can be prepared. </font><br>
<font face="Times, Times" size=4>If you have any questions about these
directions, you can reach me at the office on Thursday or Friday at
617-641-9131, or via email.<br>
<b>Date</b>: Saturday, September 20, 2003<br>
<b>Time:</b> 10:00 am - 3:00 pm<br>
<b>Location:</b> on the Boston banks of the Charles River, downstream
from the BU Bridge.<br>
<b>We'll meet at 10:00 at the Baystate pedestrian bridge. See
directions below.<br>
Project:</b> Cut invasive plants and overgrown brush that obstructs views
of the river and the starting markers for the upcoming Head of the
Charles race. Volunteers will use hand tools and line trimmers to
cut the brush, then everything will be raked up and bagged. We'll
supply work gloves and tools.<br>
<b>Directions<br>
Walking:<br>
From MIT:</b> Take Mass Ave across the river to Boston.
Immediately after crossing the bridge you will see a ramp down to the
parklands along the Charles. Take this ramp, and at the bottom turn
right so you are heading upstream (towards BU). Continue upstream until
you reach the Baystate Rd pedestrian bridge across Storrow Drive.
You'll see our truck and all the tools here. (The Baystate Rd
bridge is the second one across Storrow after Mass Ave).<br>
<b>From Berklee: </b> Walk down Mass Ave to the Charles. Take the
ramp down into the parklands along the river, and at the bottom turn
right so you are heading upstream (towards BU). Continue upstream until
you reach the Baystate Rd pedestrian bridge across Storrow Drive.
You'll see our truck and all the tools here. (The Baystate Rd
bridge is the second one across Storrow after Mass Ave).<br>
<b>By T:</b> Take the Green B line to Kenmore Square. When you exit
the station, head down Commonwealth Ave towards Brookline. Take a
right onto Sherborn St. Follow Sherborn St to the end, and use the
pedestrian bridge that is there to cross over Storrow Drive. Turn
upstream (left), and continue till you reach the next pedestrian bridge,
which is Baystate.<br><br>
Thanks!<br>
