Getting Our Hands Dirty: Stax Teams Give Back to Local Parks Across Four Cities

This spring, the Stax Community ERG led a series of hands-on volunteer efforts across our offices in Boston, Chicago, New York, and London, partnering with local parks to help these vital green spaces thrive. Our colleagues rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty: picking up trash, removing invasive species, and planting native flora. In New York alone, our team cleared 26 bags of weeds and invasive plants and planted 276 little bluestem grasses, a native species that supports biodiversity and soil health. Beyond the impact on the parks themselves, the days were filled with fresh air, laughter, and camaraderie; proof that giving back can be both meaningful and energizing.


These community events reminded us how important it is to step outside the office and contribute to the neighborhoods we live and work in. Whether it's through local clean-up days or long-term partnerships, supporting the organizations that care for our shared spaces is a powerful way to make a difference. If you or your firm are looking for ways to engage, we encourage you to explore volunteer opportunities with local park conservancies and community groups, small efforts can lead to big impacts.



Here are some postcards from our spring clean-ups and links to the respective organizations:
