We need volunteers to help put the South Grand medians to bed for the winter. ?If you have a few hours, or six at the most, we welcome all able bodied neighbors to come help.?
We will be starting at 7:30 am, Saturday November 7th, at the southern end of the medians, at Arsenal. ?We have a professional crew who will be cutting and volunteers will be asked to rake the materials off the medians and onto provided trucks to be hauled away. ?Please bring a rake and if you have one, a pitch fork or scoop shovel ( this can be a snow shovel). ??Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.
Please let me know in advance by email: florascapes@sbcglobal.net if you can volunteer so we know that we have enough people. ?
Anyone who has come out to volunteer in
the past, I would appreciate any input to improve the process. ?If we get enough volunteers I hope to have two crews working to help this go even faster than last year. ?If someone would like to head up the second crew please let me know in advance so we can discuss. ?Last year we started at 7:30 am and finished around 2:30 pm with a break for lunch, trimming down all nine medians and several of the corner bumpouts.
We try to be as green as we can. ?Prior to 11/7??the medians will be cleared of all trash, as much as possible, then all the green material will be hauled away to a dumpster provided for free by St. Louis Composting who will then compost it down for reuse. ?
Hope to see you on Saturday, November 7th! ?Come when you can.
