Morristown-based Reworld honored Earth Month this April with over a dozen volunteer-driven cleanups, beautification projects and community partnerships across the United States.
Reworld employees came together to drive local environmental change in the communities where they live and work from restoring school gardens and assembling community garden beds to hosting park cleanups and supporting native landscaping initiatives.
One of those events occurred in Newark where Mayor Ras Baraka held a ‘Slam Dunk the Junk’ event to facilitate cleanup efforts along Frelinghuysen Avenue. Partnering with the Newark Sanitation Department, Reworld volunteers removed debris and contributed to the city’s beautification initiative.
Also in Newark, Reworld teammates helped rejuvenate a rooftop garden at Science Park High School alongside students and local partners. The garden project, which had been dormant for years, was reimagined into a hands-on learning space featuring herbs, vegetables and wildflowers. Led by the district’s science department and supported by community organizations like Mighty Writers Newark, this initiative is intended to grow into a lasting, student-led educational asset.
