Native Plant Work Party a Success

Ravenna Park

On Saturday there were 160 bare root and potted plants to get in the ground in the wetlands area around the stream and pond north of the softball field. Around 25 volunteers from toddlers to grandparents showed up to get the job done. The biggest turnout in a long time. Thank you all.

Join us on the second Saturday of every month to nurture native plant growth in our neighborhood namesake park. And thanks to George and Ann for their continuing efforts in organizing and supervising this endeavor.
