Nature Park Clean-ups

We just completed the third Wednesday morning work day at the park. I am thinking of continuing this from August through November on a weekly basis. We may also have one Saturday (or Sunday, if there is interest) morning work day each month from September through November. Let me know if there are other days/times that you would be able to come. I will try to be flexible.

I posted pictures of the central area of the park (the mounds) from early 2005 to date on my other blog. We have made a great deal of progress! - though of course there is much more to do. In addition to keeping the weeds under control, we will work on finishing the path through the mounds. Some day I would also love to have an artist carve the large pieces of wood (from the Dec 1 storm) that I asked the city to deliver to the park. It would be wonderful if we could use these beautiful reminders of that powerful storm for natural seating. Thoughts?

Anyway, no more cleanups until August. Have a great summer.

Nature Park Cleanup, Wednesday, June 27, 8:30 - 10 am

I know that some of you cannot make it to the Saturday morning cleanups. This summer I am trying to get into the park early on Wednesdays to do some weeding. Please join us if you are free. It gets hot, so we will start at 8:30 am and work until ... we are too hot and tired, probably around 10 am.

Meet in the park to pull weeds, pick up litter, and enjoy the park. Come for the whole time, for an hour, or just stop by to say hello.

Nature Park entrance on Pasadena Ave., east of the York St. Bridge

Remember to:
- wear sunscreen, hat, sunglasses
- bring water
- bring gardening gloves and tools (weeders, trowels, whatever you use in your own garden)
- comfortable work clothes, including work shoes (sneakers or boots)
- binoculars for bird watching (optional)

Children must be under adult supervision at all times. There is poison oak in the park, which we will point out before we start.

Please pass this info along to anyone else you think might be interested in the park. If you know of anyone who doesn't use the internet, let me know so we can be sure they are kept in the loop.
