In April fence construction was started on the Stokes Avenue Community Pocket Park. On Saturday, May 19, 2012 neighbors came back together to continue work on the park-to-be. One crew continued work on the fence while another crew planted shrubs and perennial flowers. The fence is funded thanks to an NPU-T grant and the landscaping is funded thanks to the “Love Your Block” grant.
Keep your eyes peeled for future work days at the new Stokes Avenue Community Pocket Park!

Trees Atlanta will be planting on Rogers Avenue on Saturday morning, January 8, 2011.
If you live on Rogers Avenue and would like a FREE tree for your yard please contact info@westviewatlanta.com. Here is a list of the trees available:
Westview is losing a lot of old growth trees because of age. (The oaks in the list above are old growth trees, i.e., long lasting and large.) These trees make Westview so beautiful. You can establish a legacy for future residents of Westview by planting now, while at the same time having a nice, free, tree for your yard.
Additionally, smaller trees will be planted in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the roadway.

On November 6, we will once again partner with KIPP STRIVE Academy to pick up debris around our neighborhood. We will have over 100 students and parents of KIPP coming out to clean-up our neighborhood, we definitley want to have as many neighbors as possible to join them.
Lunch will be provided, courtesy of the staff of KIPP. We will focus on the streets listed below. Last year we saw that focusing on a few streets had a dramatic impact in one area. In the spring we will host a clean-up for another section of Westview.
Special thanks to neighbor Ken Carey for planning this entire event!
