NATURE PARK CLEANUP - Sat, Sept. 8, 9 am - noon

Hard to believe summer is just about over - hope the weather realizes it is time to cool down! Anyway, the next regular clean-up at the park will be Saturday, September 8th, 9 am to noon. If the forecast is for very hot weather, I may change that to 8 or 8:30 to whenever...

This summer the Wednesday morning clean-ups worked out well and I may continue them into the fall. If there are other days/times that would work for you, please email me to let me know. I can be flexible.

I have been working on a new website that will make the information on the Nature Park a bit easier to find. Check out the Nature Park tab on WeedingWildSuburbia. It is "in the process" so check back every now and again.

Hope to see you in September!

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.

PARK CLEANUP - Sunday, August 12, 8 am - 10 am

There will be a work day this coming Sunday, August 12, from 8 -10 am. If it isn't too hot I may stay longer. A South Pas high school student is going to help out for his upcoming Environmental Science class. I think it would be nice if the rocks that are outlining a path going into the central mound area were set a bit better. I will also be weeding - getting rid of tumble weed before it gets too large.

 On another note, there was some bizarre activity in the park while I was away on vacation. A big hole was dug above the detention basin. Whoever did it had to have been exposed to a lot of poison oak. If any of you know anything about this, please email me. Thanks.
