STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– On Wednesday, June 11, summer interns at Frontier Communications’ corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut put away their laptops, put “out of office” messages on their phones and set out to make the Stamford Museum & Nature Center at 39 Scofieldtown Road an even more beautiful and welcoming destination as part of the United Way’s Annual Day of Action.

Their assignment was a landscaping project at the Wheels in the Woods Picnic area, a popular site at the Nature Center. The team planted native shrubs along the perimeters of the picnic area and spread piles of woodchips in the planted areas to control weeds, and then spread stone dust on the picnic area surface. Nearly eight hours after they started, the interns looked with pride upon a job well done.
For many years, Frontier employees and interns have participated in a variety of volunteer projects that benefit the Stamford area, living a company Value to “Be active in the community.”

The company and its employees embody the spirit of corporate philanthropy and we’re proud to have them as a partner,” said Kim Morgan, CEO of the United Way of Western Connecticut.
