Buffalo Games Cazenovia Park Work Day

On Wednesday May 6th Buffalo Games partnered with The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy for a restoration project in Cazenovia Park in South Buffalo. Community Day is a part of Buffalo Game's mission to give back to the Buffalo Region and this year their project within Cazenovia Park was multi faceted. Over the course of 3 hours, more than 70 volunteers painted, weeded, mulched the grounds and engaged in a creekside restoration project along Cazenovia Creek. Over six weeks worth of work was completed in that 3 hour period. Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy provided coffee, bagels and muffins while Buffalo Games provided a catered lunch.
