In recognition of Earth Day, Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corp., sponsored by National Grid (formerly KeySpan) and The League, held a cleanup and planting day at the triangle at Mott and Central Avenues in the business area of Far Rockaway last week.
The April 24 event gave area youth, from various schools, a chance to take part in community service and develop pride in the area where they live.
