Update on Awbrey Park Work Party – Saturday Feb 6

Posted on February 5, 2016 by Gary Haliski

Update on tomorrow, Saturday, Feb 6.

We have decided to cancel our February 6th work party to better focus on the March 5 work party and Mayor Piercy’s dedication of the bridge on the same day.

Three of Awbrey Park’s regular volunteers will be at the park at 9am this Saturday. They’ll be greeting anyone who missed our cancellation message. We’ll also be doing some litter pickup, ivy and blackberry work, and possibly some butterfly garden and fawn lily prep work.

Feel free to drop by. If you want to pitch in, it’s a BYOTG&C. Bring Your Own Tools, Gloves and Coffee. Otherwise, please just drop by to see the new bridge and wander in the back part of the park. The bridge leads to a forested area that has quite a different feeling than the rest of the park. It’s a wonderful addition.
