The enthusiasm for birding in the park continues to grow! Many thanks to volunteers Seamus Gourley, Peter Roy, and Madalyn Baldanzi for leading spring migration bird walks in the park this month. Seamus and Peter and a group of 20 birders on May 10 saw a Hooded Warbler, last spotted in 2022! Madalyn, with help from Seamus, initiated the first Kids Bird Walk on May 16 with an enthusiastic group of young participants. Memorial Park is an important stop for these travelers from April to June --watch out for them as you're strolling through the park!

Even in yesterday's rain, our loyal Trash Pandas team turned out! Led by Susan Rogers, Jesse, Amy, Melina, Bridget, Mary and Joy scoured the park for trash, finding the usual assortment of bottles, cups, and cigarette butts, in addition to some broken water guns we assume are from Senior Assassin! Thanks to all who came out!

Celebrate Earth Week with us! On Earth Day (April 22) at Weeding Wednesday, we'll be mulching the 5 new trees we planted last week -- join us at 9 am at the Skate House along Oakview. On Saturday, April 25, it's Trash Pandas -- a one-hour blitz to pick up trash, meet at the Skate House at 10 am.

Last week was a busy one -- Karen, Mary, Deborah and Jeff spiffed up the native planting area next to the Oakland playground, and Deborah joined the DPW (John, Scott, Joe and Zach) to plant new trees, including a memorial tree for former Maplewood arborist Todd Lamm, to be dedicated May 17.

Lot's of activities to come this spring--see our calendar below or visit us at maplewoodmemorialparkconservancy.org
