2008 CityRoots Photo Journal now available!
UEI is excited to introduce the 2008 CityRoots Photo Journal, highlighting the hard work of over 180 dedicated community volunteers belonging to 11 neighborhood ecological restoration projects across the Boston area.
Over the course of the summer, 78 trees and close to 200 shrubs and perennials were proudly added to the Boston landscape, contributing to UEI's mission of building healthy, vibrant cities.
Congratulations to all our participants - 2008 was the most successful year in CityRoots history! See you in 2009!
Fred Reppun
Americorps*VISTA Education Program Assistant
Fred enjoyed an idyllic upbringing on his family's farm in Hawaii. He left the Aloha State to attend Harvard University, graduating with a degree in Environmental Science and Public Policy in 2007. During his junior and senior year he researched environmental education in China, and got to travel for two months in Beijing and Western China. Fred has worked in Hawaii to help restore native ecosystems damaged by military training exercises, and has volunteered with community groups to reopen ancient Hawaiian farms. At home he enjoys sailing, working on the farm, surfing, and being with family. Here in Boston, he is still figuring out how to have fun in the cold.
