Have you walked in the woods yet??? There’s a wonderful loop trail now in the Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View, just across S Alaska at the south side of NRV. And more trails are coming!
If you haven’t been over there yet, Forest Stewards Mary DeJong and Andrea Ostrovsky will be leading a special walking tour on Saturday, April 21. Meet in NRV’s Central Park at 11am for a 30 minute walk in the woods.
There is also a work party on April 21, starting at 10am. Dress in layers, bring your own water and lunch, and come out for a few hours of work with neighbors on the continuing efforts to restore the woods, remove invasive species, remove trash, and build trails.

Current efforts are focused on the new trailhead at Angeline and 27th, and April’s work parties will be about continuing to remove ivy and blackberries and then adding burlap and mulch in preparation for planting in the fall.
