IRS990/Desc0Activities at GBFG in 2016 included hosting clean-up efforts by local schools, temples and community groups, whose visits onsite are an important collaboration that keeps the community engaged in the ongoing effort to reverse years of neglect and abuse of this environmentally diverse site. Also in 2016, the site saw the launch of the GBFG community garden initiative. Individuals and businesses contributed towards the costs of building out gardening beds and subsidized the program so that a sliding rental scale could be offered to families and individuals seeking to grow their own food. A group of immigrant families was organized by an ESL teacher at the local community college to take part, and really enriched the experience for . The site was once again the finish line and celebration of the annual walk for the homeless hosted by a neighbor non-profit, and welcomed the community at large on site for a range of other events celebrating local food, music and culture. Work continues on general remediation and maintenance of the site, as well as outreach to potential partners, such as the Trails initiative seeking to route a riverside walking trail through a string of properties from downtown Great Barrington to the canoe launch south of the Fairgrounds.
