LaVilla Dairy Beautification is Ongoing

Posted on by
The Meadowbrook Community Council is continuing its restoration of Thornton Creek natural area near the old LaVilla Dairy.
This area, bounded by Ravenna Avenue NE, Fischer Place NE, NE 100th Street, and NE 103rd Street, is overrun with ivy, wild blackberries, holly, and Japanese knotweed.  Trees are dying.  It could be a lovely natural area with a few paths through it–maybe even benches!
Below is a schedule of work parties for the rest of June and July.   If you can help as an individual and/or if you can organize other people to attend these work parties and/or publicize these events, it would be much appreciated, especially by the trees.
Work party schedule, rain or shine (please bring your own shovels, pruners, loppers, and gloves; we will try to bring extra tools)
Wednesday, June 22 1-5 P.M. Meet on Fischer Place NE, south of the old LaVilla Dairy and north of the gray building where LC Way and Fischer intersect
Saturday, July 23 9-12 noon Meeting place to be determined
Saturday, August 6 9-12 noon Meeting place to be determined
Note:  You don’t have to stay the entire time; any time you can help is greatly appreciated.
Meeting places for the second and third work parties will be decided at the end of the first work party.
Another work party to weed the parking strip along NE 105th Street (to ready it for planting in the fall) is scheduled for Saturday, August 27.  Meet at the traffic circle and bring your own tools and gloves.
