Friends of Brook Park is looking for volunteers to check on the new street trees it has planted in Mott Haven and Port Morris.

Hip-hop and Afro-Latin dance are on the agenda of St. Mary’s Park, with performances on June 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. and a family day celebration at noon on June 27.

A Mott Haven company, Bronx County Recycling, LLC “dumped dangerous construction debris” in an illegal landfill upstate, charged Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who announced a criminal indictment against the company and its owner Salvatore Cascino.

A dog run is under construction in St. Mary’s Park, at the corner of St. Mary’s Street and Cypress Avenue, thanks to the efforts of the South Bronx Dog Owner’s Group.

As Sustainable South Bronx prepares to open the farmers market at Padre Plaza Success Garden, the organization’s Greenway Stewards have worked with trainees enrolled in the Bronx Justice Corps program to replace the gazebo roof, as part of a 10-week partnership with the Justice Corps.
