Join the Charlesgate Alliance on Thursday, June 5 at 3 pm as they dedicate fourteen new trees, seven of which are honoring the inspirational Fran Gershwin of the Muddy River Restoration Project (MMOC.). We will be meeting in the Grove section of Charlesgate Park, bounded by Charlesgate East and Beacon Street. This tree planting has been made possible by lead grants from the Boston Red Sox and Berklee College of Music, plus hundreds of individual donors. Rain date is Friday, June 6 at 3 pm.
Join the MMOC and the Muddy River Cabinet for Public Oversight Reimagined on Wednesday evening, April 26th. This Annual Meeting will coincide with the near completion of the historic Restoration Project—and the birthday of visionary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Venue: The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. For details email info@muddyrivermmoc.org or click HERE.
The Muddy River Maintenance and Management Oversight Committee (the “MMOCâ€) consists of Secretary-appointed citizen members of the original Emerald Necklace Citizens Advisory Committee (the “ENCACâ€) appointed to represent the public to protect the significant investment of over $90 million and ensure that improvements are properly maintained for many years. Other members are various organizations representing the myriad of cultural, educational and medical institutions in the area, the City of Boston and the Town of Brookline (the “Proponentsâ€), and DCR. Other members of the MMOC come from Boards and Commissions and organizations with related interests. In effect, MMOC is a separate entity serving as ombudsman for the public, with frequent meetings and site visits to oversee and guide the performance of the Proponents. The MMOC will hold its Annual Meeting on Monday, March 19 at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, which is an awfully good reason to go. RSVP to brilliant@fenwayculture.org. Photo courtesy National Park Service, Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site.
