Hi all, it's been a VERY long time since writing about the Park. Both Michael and I had a long last year and went on our own doing some small tasks here and there but we are back now to ask for your help!
In the past we have found it hard to schedule a time for a traditional work party so we are now just going to list some tasks that you can easily go do on your own on your own time and can report back. We do not have help from the Parks unless we really need something urgent so rely on even a few mins of volunteer time to keep this place going! So, here are our asks, and see the photos below for areas and descriptions. Please report back if you visit and do a little work!
1. By the BevParkRocks area: we need the blackberry cut off the fence.
2. If you know what scotch broom is and feel comfortable working on the slope you can use loppers to cut it down. It can be piled on the opposite side of the fence as the BevParkRocks area.
3. Pushing out mulch piles - in particular, those on the north edge need to be pushed out and raked. You can keep it thick in all areas except around tree trunks.
4. Cutting blackberry - again, the north and west edges of the mulched areas will get totally covered this summer if we don't start now. Mike and I visited yesterday and did some work on the north end but WHEREEVER you see it, clip it to the ground, use a hard rake to rake it back ... any damage you can do to it is appreciated! We do not need to pick this up or pile it up.
Please let me know if you have questions, want to be removed from this list or want to include others/send this list along - we can get a lot done with many hands and a few mins here and there.
Thank you all for your interest in this park!
