GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Millers Meadow in Greenfield, the former Wedgewood Gardens trailer park, will be restored with native plants thanks to a $37,830.49 climate resilience grant.

The grant was awarded by the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program. The funds will be used to address the floodplains and carbon sequestration with native pollinator plants, shrubs, and trees. This will help support plant and wildlife biodiversity by creating native habitats and mitigating flooding from the Green River. “Our project addresses several of the recommended improvements to Wedgewood Gardens (now known as Millers Meadow),” said Planning Director Eric Twarog. “Portions of the native planting areas are within the 200-foot Riverfront Area of the Greenfield River, where planting trees in this protected area will contribute to stabilizing the bank against erosion. A pollinator meadow will transform the site’s eastern slope. The project will beautify and enhance this public space for passive recreational uses, including dog-walking and other activities, and enhance the experience by drawing birds and butterflies to the area.” Local News Headlines Election results may be delayed in key swing states Springfield woman selected as Veteran of the Year 35th Annual Puerto Rican Flag Raising in Springfield Know your voting rights WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
