There’s work afoot to transform part of the Cheasty Greenspace into a real City Park (across Columbian/Alaska) from NRV). The folks working on it have been doing clean up and reforestation for a while. Now, they are submitting a proposal for the Dept of Neighborhood’s Small and Simple Grant to hire a landscape architect to design a trail system over 10 acres and create a beautified park entrance at the dead end of S. Alaska Place.

These grants require “match” volunteer hours dedicated to this design phase. These volunteers would attend design review meetings, community review meetings, set up meetings, canvas the neighborhood with promotional information and the likes. If awarded the grant, these activities would take place from January-June 2010.

Would you be willing to dedicate volunteer hours to these efforts? If so or if you want info on the forest restoration work, please contact Mary DeJong via Tom Phillips (tomphillips6@msn.com) with your name, address, phone number, pledged number of hours and for what specific task. This is what the City is looking for for a competitive grant application.
