Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell and Director of the National Park Service, Jonathon Jarvis visit Groundwork Richmond!

In a surprise visit, Groundwork Richmond Staff, some of our Green Team and our Board Chair, were honored to receive a visit from Secretary Jewell and Director Jarvis. Our partner at the National Park Service, Superintendent Tom Leatherman made special arrangements for the visit to our adopt-a-site at 42nd St. on the Richmond Greenway.

We were all thrilled to discuss our work in the community and especially on the Richmond Greenway. Our Green Team leaders, Angel Bermudez and Sandra Flores presented our visitors with Groundwork Richmond t-shirts. Secretary Jewell, in turn, presented us with Department of Interior commemorative coins. A great day was had by all.
