Dear Prouty Garden Supporters, Thanks to your donations, we have been able to take further legal action in our efforts to preserve the beloved Prouty Garden. On Friday, Friends of the Prouty Garden formally requested that the Secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) require a Notice of Project Change (NPC) on Boston Children's Hospital’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for its proposed expansion. We believe that BCH “at least inadvertently” concealed the terms of Olive Higgins Prouty's gift during their project’s environmental impact review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). At the very least, the hospital failed to disclose that one of the terms of the gift by Olive Prouty (1887-1974) was that the Prouty Garden would be perpetually maintained in its current location.  Therefore, we are asking the Secretary to require the hospital undergo further MEPA review once the project is reconfigured to preserve the Prouty Garden. For more information on this update, please go to http://saveprouty.org/npc-mepa Your donations are still URGENTLY needed to help us continue to pursue our legal options. We are just $15,000 away from reaching our goal of $50,000 raised. Every donation - large or small - goes a long way toward showing the hospital that this is not over. Prouty's roots are strong and deep. Please visit our GoFundMe page to support our effort to save the Prouty Garden, AND HELP US DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN.
