This week Cassie Bernyk, UVLT Stewardship Programs Coordinator, shares news about the completion of the fencing project at our Brookmead Food Pantry Garden! We are so excited to have the permanent fencing installed around the garden to keep out deer and other small animals that have been damaging some of our crops over the past couple of years. This 8 foot fence will help us increase the amount of produce we are able to donate to our friends at Willing Hands throughout the growing season.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us install this fence in the last few weeks, including Hypertherm and UVLT volunteers! We couldn't have done this without your support. We are also so grateful for the grants we received to complete this project from the Ben & Jerry's Community Fund, Hypertherm HOPE Foundation, Norwich Lions Club, and the Norwich Women's Club.
