ADOPT A SPOT IN BURNHAM PARK

This summer and fall (2020), the BPA invites you to help clean Burnham Park by participating in our Adopt a Spot program organized through Morristown's Clean Communities. We could not gather for Arbor Day this year due to the pandemic, but the CleanUp piece can still take place while social distancing. We've put together a schedule with weekly slots through October for cleaning up litter in the Park. The task is simple: walk through the park at your convenience and pick up trash. For health safety reasons, we ask that you supply your own mask, gloves, garbage bags and pick-up tools. Please separate out recyclables where possible and place filled trash bags in receptacles located in the Park. 

Thank you to Smith Design on nearby Budd Street (https://smithdesign.com) for adopting the Burnham Park sign and planting flowers around it in July 2020. Together with Morristown's Clean Communities, the plants will be maintained and watered as needed.

BURNHAM PARK SCAVENGER HUNT

Join us for a community building (while social distancing) activity! We are loving taking walks in our parks, on our trails, and our quiet streets at this coronavirus time so why not make a game out of it? Join us anytime on the Burnham Park Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt! 

Send us a photo of something in your yard that can be seen from the street. Feel free to be creative! And stroll through the neighborhood looking for these landmarks your neighbors have shared. We are adding new photos on an ongoing basis, so be sure to recheck this link whenever you go for a walk.
