Charlotte transformed an old blueberry farm into a beautiful park with walking trails. The park was once an eyesore and a haven for crime, but her efforts have created an oasis where people can enjoy nature and pick blueberries from the 3,000 bushes. All of the work in the park is performed by volunteers that Charlotte rounds up each month; over 2,385 of them to date, for a total of over 10,157 hours worked.
