Please put Saturday, November 2, on your calendar for our next Work Party. This will be the last one before our big planting party in December. We already have the harvested, sorted and sanitized acorns stored in the fridges of various volunteers and there’s much else to prepare before that planting. I hope that you’ll […]

Please put Saturday September 7 on your calendar for our next Work Party. Fall is coming and five of our young oaks, now at the end of their seventh summer, are producing acorns that will be fully formed and ripe in early October. There’s plenty for us to do in the next few months before […]

Please put Saturday June 1 on your calendar for our next Work Party. Spring has almost run its course and soon we’ll be feeling the earth drying as the grasses turn to summer gold. There’s plenty for us to do to protect the Native Meadow from weeds and prepare the Oak Woodland for the summer. […]

Please put Saturday April 6 on your calendar for our next Work Party. The Greenway is blooming, leaves are unfurling, and the Equinox will happen this evening. There’s plenty for us to do protecting the Native Meadow from weeds and preparing the Oak Woodland for the summer.  I hope that you’ll come and enjoy it […]

Please put Saturday November 4 on your calendar for our next monthly Work Party. We hope that the rains will arrive on schedule, so we will spend most of our time at this Work Party preparing for a lot of planting in December when we expect the ground will be nice and damp. I hope […]

Please put Saturday July 8 on your calendar for our monthly Work Party. The Solstice is behind us and the Big Dry is getting started. The Native Meadow is growing beautifully (we’re still irrigating it while it gets established). The oak trees are looking good – some of the direct-seeded oaks are going into their […]

We’re making plans for our May Work Party. Please put it on your calendar – it’ll be on Saturday May 6. We’ll be deep into the growing season with long days and plenty of moisture still in the soil. The Native Meadow is growing beautifully and the oak trees are looking good. I hope that […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, We are making plans for our March Work Party. Please put it on your calendar: it’ll be on Saturday March 4. This will be our last Work Party before the start of spring, and the plants along the Greenway are really getting going now. There’s lots of growth […]

Hello Friends and Supporters of the Greenway, We are making plans for our February Work Party. It’ll be on Saturday February 4; a few days after Imbolc. Imbolc is probably the Holiday that you never heard of, but it’s all about the sudden speed-up of the rate that days lengthen after we pass the mid-point […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, I hope that your plans for Thanksgiving are coming together well. I also hope that, in the aftermath of that feast you’ll be longing to get your hands (and even perhaps your knees) a bit muddy on the Greenway! On Saturday December 3 – about a week after […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, We are making plans for our last Work Party before (we sincerely hope) the rains arrive and we plant this year’s batch of meadow plants in the Native Meadow. So the focus of our work at this November Work Party will be the preparation the Native Meadow for […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, We are making plans for our first Work Party of the fall. It will be on Saturday, October 1 from 9:00am to 12:00pm. We’ll have coffee at the start (many thanks to Canyon Market for providing this) and sandwiches at the end. I do hope that you can […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, I hope that you are enjoying the final weeks of summer. We are making plans for September’s monthly work party. It won’t be on the first Saturday as it usually is because, of course, that would conflict with Labor day. It will be on Saturday, September 10 from […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, Saturday August 6 is the day for our August Work Party on the Greenway. I hope that you will be able to join us. Please email me as soon as you can to tell me if you plan to be there on August 6th. Email: greenway@glenparkassociation.org Here are […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, Saturday June 4 is a big day in Glen Park: as well as being the day of our Greenway’s June Work Party, it is the Neighborhood Beautification Day (“NBD”) for our supervisorial district. So it’s going to be a busy day in District 8 as well as on […]

It may look like a garden of colored flags but in fact it’s a meadow-in-the-making. On Saturday, January 15, about 20 volunteers planted more than 400 native grass plants on the Glen Park Greenway between Brompton and Lippard Avenues. These are the backbone of what will grow to become Glen Park’s Native Meadow. We built […]

Hello Friend and Supporter of the Greenway, I hope that you are enjoying the afterglow of Thanksgiving. We are making plans for December’s monthly work party.

The trail will be improved between Brompton and Chilton avenues, which means the Greenway for those two blocks will be closed for approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Trail access from Burnside Avenue […]
