About 50 helpers came out to clean up the park April 13

Trout LiliesAbout 40 neighbors and voluteers joined ten trailbuilders in spiffing up Roanoke Park on Saturday, April 13, 2013. Enthusiasm was flagging as the morning wore on but it was all smiles at the lunch provided by Whole Foods' Miles Krivena and chef Ryan. Many commented that is was the best lasagna they'd every had! The work mainly concentrated in the Southwest corner of the park:

  • MANY piles of brush were dragged to the curb
  • MANY bags of trash and bottles were removed from the park's woods
  • Brett led the trailbuilders in extending Roanoke Park's growing urban trail system
  • Nancy led seeding efforts for native grasses and wildflowers (NE entrance, and NE of the tennis courts etc.)

THANK YOU to all who attended.

Park Cleanup was a great success!

About 50 volunteers came together to improve Roanoke Park November 10th:

  • Seeding - Three areas were seeded with native grasses and wildflowers. See planting the future.
  • Trailbuilding - A big section of the lower trail above Roanoke Boulevard was completed, all the way from the community center to point above the volleyball court by about 25 trailbuilders. See facebook.com/groups/roanokeparktrails/.
  • Brush Removal - Many piles of cut shrub honeysuckle were moved to the curb for parks department pickup.
  • LUNCH - All attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch courtesy of Whole Foods and chefs Miles, Dianne and Ryan: Turkey chili, vegetarian chili, cornbread and dessert!
