We are less than two weeks away from our fall clean-up event, on October 22nd. Currently, we have less than 6 volunteers confirmed. Please RSVP (link below) as soon as possible so we have an idea of how many folks will be at the event!
Below is our list of items we want to tackle during the event. We are always looking for items to be added, or feedback on the items already on the list. Depending on the number of volunteers that show up on the 22nd, some items might have to be removed. Items that are removed, we will have to hire outside contractors complete at considerable expense. Our desire is to do as many of these as possible as a community in order to continue to keep dues low and use our funds for more enjoyable activities and improvements.
Fall Clean-up Items:
- Pick up litter from neighborhood streets, common areas, greenbelt
- Remove berry vines and branches suffocating native trees/plants.
- Replace rotten playground chip retaining boards

- Clear weeds/vines from around new plants at front entrance
- Spread bark around new plants at entrance to keep weeds out
- Prune landscape trees
- Clean drainage ditch along 23rd Ave.
Here are the approximate costs to pay to have the work done:
