They Took Out The Trash: Arnold Arboretum Gets Cleaned Up

After tweeting a photo of the trashed ground at the local wooded spot, a week later the Arboretum surface looks clean.

On Oct. 6, Dana Ortegon (@xacerb8) tweeted a photo of the trashed Arnold Arboretum grounds. Via a bit of back and forth among Jamaica Plain Patch’s twitter account (@JPPatch) and another local on twitter (@Othemts), Ortegon offered to clean it up herself.

It appears she has.

On Monday afternoon, Ortegon tweeted a photo of a clean Arboretum surface, the same area which his photo depicted as trashed one week earlier, with the words, “We took out the trash!” watermarked onto the new photo.
