There’s a work party for the new trails in Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View coming up on Saturday, July 9 from 10am to 1pm. There’s lots of trail prep work to be done before the next load of gravel arrives in August. Bring a drink and something to share and join in a Potluck BBQ at Mary DeJong’s house after the work party. (This work party is running long enough that you can come to the Neighborhood Cleanup at 10am, have a doughnut and some coffee, pick up some trash, then head out to Cheasty at Mt. View and do some plant relocation and trail leveling, and then join in a potluck. There, a full Saturday of outdoor time and community connections!)
