This Old House: Westview

October 19, 2018

We’ve waited out the summer heat and now we’re going to do a 2 for 1 with our 3rd quarter “This Old House: Westview” project! We’ll be clearing overgrowth for Ms. Nina as well as cleaning up Westview’s own Stokes Park. Ms. Nina is a neighbor who has struggled to get the overgrowth in her back yard under control. She recently had to dig deep to pay for the removal of a huge dying tree and could use some help getting the rest of the back yard clear she and her grand kids can start next spring with a clean slate in their back yard. Meanwhile, Stokes Park needs some general grounds and tree maintenance.

We need volunteers to do the work as well as provide drinks, snacks, and lunch! Please bring work gloves and drinking water. You can also bring your favorite trimmers, loppers, rakes, or other yard tools!

This Old House: Westview is a quarterly event organized by the Westview Community Organization to assist senior neighbors with needed maintenance, repairs, and improvements to their homes and yards.

Enota Park Volunteer Day with Trees Atlanta

January 12, 2018

Trees Atlanta has done a lot in Enota Park so far in the early stages of its development as the largest public park in our community. In recent months, they have cleared a few very overgrown acres and planted more than 200 trees! Now, they’re inviting us to help! This is the message from Trees Atlanta:

Help us improve Enota Park by removing evergreen invasive plant species within the park, plus help us stabilize the hillside with a large quantity of grass seed.

-It is important to arrive on time so each volunteer sees our demonstration (it takes 10 minutes). We also want all volunteers to stay for the entire project.
-Wear pants and a long-sleeved shirt, closed-toed shoes or boots (waterproof is best), and clothes that can get dirty.
-Bring drinking water in a reusable container. It is important to stay hydrated. No one-time-use plastic bottles, please.
-Forest Restoration is hard work, so eat a good breakfast and come prepared to work hard.
-Projects happen rain or shine, so please check the weather beforehand and come prepared.
-Trees Atlanta will provide all necessary tools and instruction, though volunteers may prefer to bring their own work gloves.

Louie Lewis will be coordinating for Trees Atlanta. He can be reached at 678.588.9863.
