Some 200 volunteers showed up for last Saturday’s "It’s My Park Day" celebration, part of Mosholu Preservation Corporation’s (publisher of the Norwood News) Embracing our Parks Initiative. At the Mosholu Parkway "gully," between Decatur and Webster avenues, volunteers from the group Building with Books worked on general cleanup, mulching and composting, planting bulbs and creating two entrance gardens. Other volunteers did similar work at the Williamsbridge Oval. On Sunday, New Life Outreach International Church and members of the Riverdale YMCA helped out at St. James Park.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
