Please click on the photo above to make a tax-deductible contribution to help us buy native, drought-resistant plants for the pedestrian bridge. Any amount will help. Thank you!
Thank you to the 40 energized people who joined our 17th annual cleanup on April 22nd to do a lot of badly needed weeding, mulching, picking up litter in the Park, and enjoying working together outside on a springtime morning filled with the promise of many days of being outdoors in the months to come. The photo below shows the folks who stayed through the morning.
