The Connecticut Grounds Keepers Association recently completed it?EUR??,,????'???s third annual spring clean-up at The Connecticut 9/11 Memorial Park at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT. CGKA has maintained the grounds at the park since the spring of 2005. The park is dedicated to Connecticut residents that lost their lives in the World Trade Center attack. The park is located on a point of land that juts out into Long Island Sound and as such the smoke column from the burning buildings was clearly visible. Many Connecticut residents worked in these two buildings and many lost their lives on that day. Each of the deceased has a stone in the park with their name engraved on the face. It became apparent during the summer of 2004 that the maintenance crew at Sherwood Island State Park needed help with the maintenance that was necessary because of staff reductions and budgetary constraints. At this point CGKA stepped up and with the cooperation of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the on-site maintenance staff, CGKA became the primary grounds maintenance provider for the memorial park.
