"We will be getting ready to plant bare root shrubs in
February. The emphasis will be on getting the last of the blackberry and any
holly, laurel or ivy seedlings where we will be planting.
We don't know yet when we will get plants, if it is not in time for next months regular work party we may have to move the date or do an extra day.
We will be working west (up stream) of the complex trail junction we often use as a staging area where the small tributary stream comes in from the north. The same areas we were working in last month.
As usual: Meet at the Kiosk (near the Tool Box). Ravenna Park lower play field in SE Ravenna Park, North of NE 55th St. and North of the ball field at 10Am on Saturday. We work until 12:30.
You will be most comfortable if you wear layers of clothes, and sturdy shoes, that you don't mind getting dirty. bring water. Tools and gloves will be provided."
Everyone and anyone is welcome to help out. As the city cuts back on projects because of budget shortfalls, the community and park neighbors need to step forward to keep our parks in good condition. We all know what happens when ivy and blackberry are allowed to take over.
Saturday's adventure is only 2 and a half hours. Come lend a hand.
