Riker Danzig and Grow It Green Team Up for Earth Day

Morristown-based Riker Danzig Scherer Hyland & Perretti teamed up with Grow it Green Morristown for a volunteer event in recognition of Earth Day on April 19, 2017. Riker Danzig employees were given the afternoon off to assist with weeding, clearing garden beds, and other preparations for the upcoming 2017 growing season and school trips to Grow It Green's Urban Farm. The Urban Farm is New Jersey's largest public school garden, and is managed by a small staff, part-time interns and community volunteers. Riker Danzig partner A.J. Borrelli, a securities litigator and chairman of the firm's Green Committee, led the Riker Danzig team. Borrelli took a group of 18 Riker Danzig volunteers, who weeded and cleared garden beds and pathways, planted flowers, made and spread compost, secured a trellis for the hops vines, and fed the chickens—all under the direction of Grow It Green's director of agriculture and education, Shaun Ananko, otherwise known as “Farmer Shaun.”
