Joy Avenue Work Party - this Saturday, March 3 - 9 am to noon

[Peter Guttchen]

To NENA members and other interested folks,

 

Help make your neighborhood more beautiful and more walkable by joining us for NENA's next Joy Avenue Pathway work party this Saturday, March 3 from 9 am to noon.  We'll be finishing up our work mulching the site with cardboard and chips to protect the beautiful new plants we put in the ground in November and to keep the weeds at bay when Spring arrives. 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.  If you can't make it to the work party, there are plastic tarps at the Bethel end of the trail where you can leave flattened cardboard boxes.  More information can be found on NENA's website at Joy Avenue Pathway.

 

The City of Olympia is planning other Saturday work parties in our neighborhood in March including one at Friendly Grove Park on March 10 and in the Mission Creek Nature Park on March 17 and 24.  For more information about these events, contact Sylvana Niehuser at snie...@ci.olympia.wa.us or visit www.olympiawa.gov/parkvolunteer.   

 

I look forward to seeing you Saturday!
