Joy Avenue Pathway Work Party - this Saturday, April 7 - 9 am to Noon

[Peter Guttchen]

To NENA members and other interested folks,

 

Join with your neighbors this Saturday, April 7 from 9 am to noon for our next Joy Avenue Pathway work party.  At this NENA event, we'll be removing blackberry roots and ivy and finishing up our work mulching the site with cardboard and chips to protect the beautiful new plants we put in the ground in November. The project site is located in the 1600 block of Bethel Street about 1.5 blocks north of the SF Bakery.

 

Wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and please bring a pitchfork or shovel, work gloves, cardboard boxes, and a wheelbarrow (if you can) to the work party.   If you don't have tools or work gloves, we'll have some available for you to use. 

 

This project, funded in part by a generous grant from the City of Olympia's neighborhood matching grant program, will make it safer and easier for students to walk and bike to Roosevelt and Reeves, and will help all of us get active and get connected.  More information can be found on NENA's website at Joy Avenue Pathway. 

 

 

A big thank you to everyone who helped remove ivy from trees in the Mission Creek Nature Park and who helped mulch and weed at Friendly Grove Park at City of Olympia work parties in March.  For information on other City of Olympia Volunteers in Parks events, contact Sylvana Niehuser at snie...@ci.olympia.wa.us or visit www.olympiawa.gov/parkvolunteer.  

 

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

 

Best regards,
