Volunteers and donations needed to kick-off the Ranger Woods community project in Estacada on May 16th
WHO: The Ford Institute Leadership Program (FILP) Estacada Cohort
WHAT: Is launching their project of revitalizing and enhancing of the Estacada School Districts’ woodland area. Community volunteers are needed on May 16th for the Ivy Pull Kickoff Work Party to begin the project. Ranger Woods is located between the High School and the adjacent cemetery.
HOW: This first work party will involve removal of invasive plant species (e.g. ivy and blackberries) and trash. Future work parties are planned for erosion control (i.e. mulching and replanting/seeding with native species) and developing the trail system.
SPONSORS: Ranger Woods is sponsored by The Ford Family Foundation of Roseburg, Oregon. The project is an official Project Oregon program through SOLV that provides work supplies. The FILP Estacada Cohort has partnered with the Estacada Community Foundation, and donations are tax deductable (as the law allows). Donations of equipment, supplies, plants, professional services, and funds are needed.
WHY: The intent of this service project is to improve community safety, create a more sustainable and productive natural area, and provide opportunities for multiple uses by students and residents. The Estacada Cohort is pleased to be participating in a project that will add to the health, livability, and community pride of Estacada.
