On Friday, June 24, 2016 Kronos held a community service day at Roberts Field to build a trail bridge and plant a pollinator garden.  The Kronos group worked in teams to successfully build the 16′ bridge on the trail around the pond, prep and plant the pond side pollinator garden, and plant grass sod at the trail head behind the Fire Station.

The new bridge was built and placed in a seasonally wet area on the north side of the pond, using pressure-treated materials and anchored into place by steps with metal pins.  The new bridge will provide safer access to people on the trail, while working to protect the park’s habitat.

The new pollinator garden is near the Roberts Field pond and adjacent to the skate shack.  The sod was cut from the garden and used to fill in bare spots near the trail head.  The garden was designed by a wetlands scientist, and features nearly 40 different varieties flowering perennial plants donated from Chelmsford gardens and a local nursery.

Thank you Kronos for your hard work and terrific contributions to Roberts Field!
