New Park Alert! Break Ground with us at Ballinger Open Space!May 10, 9am-11am @ Ballinger Open Space 🌱 New Park, New Beginnings! — Blackberry Removal Bash at Ballinger Open Space 🌱 Join us for the very first Green Shoreline restoration event at Ballinger Open Space! This park needs your help to get off to a strong start on its journey toward becoming a thriving green space. With a mature maple overstory nearing the end of its life, we’re clearing invasive plants and preparing the site for a new generation of conifers and native species. We'll spend about 75% of the time removing noxious weeds—especially those pesky blackberries—and the other 25% spreading mulch to prep the soil for future planting. It’s hands-on work, but it’s also a blast: think teamwork, muddy gloves, and the satisfaction of making a visible impact. 🔔 Important: There are no bathrooms on site, so please plan ahead. Be sure to bring water, snacks, and weather-appropriate layers! Come ready to dig in, connect with your community, and help launch a restoration effort that will grow for years to come. Let’s give Ballinger Open Space the fresh start it deserves! 🌿💪 more |

Shoreline Park work partyMay 10, 11am-1pm @ Shoreline Park Please join us in keeping the small forest of Shoreline Park beautiful. If we love this park, it will keep loving us right back. We're dreaming of a park free of invasive plants and filled with native plants. Work areas are manageable and it's easy to see the difference we've made so far. We'll be cutting and digging out Himalayan blackberry, rolling up carpets of English ivy, and working to preserve the trailing blackberry, salal, ferns, bleeding heart, and other native plants already thriving. We'll also be hauling mulch to the cleared area and breaking down dried out debris piles. more |
