A better Byrd Park

Brasfield & Gorrie organized a family workday to clean up Byrd Park in Vestavia Hills in August.

During the morning hours, Brasfield & Gorrie employees and their families pruned trees, picked up litter, removed storm debris, and mulched and weeded landscaped areas. Volunteers also better developed landscaped areas and cleaned up overgrown areas within the park.

The family workday was created after Walter Jones, senior estimator at Brasfield & Gorrie, and his wife, Jennifer, discussed how they could use their resources for the City of Vestavia and to revive Byrd Park. With the support of Brasfield & Gorrie, they were able to organize a group of volunteers and make a positive impact on the park.

“Giving back to the community has always been important to me and my family,” Jones said. “Organizing this cleanup effort at Byrd Park was one of the best ways to do that, and I appreciate everyone in the community and at Brasfield & Gorrie who came out and helped with this effort.”
