Arbor Lodge Park Event – Sept 8
No work party Sept 8th at Arbor Lodge Park
Why not? Because September 1st the University of Portland (UP), Janus Youth, and several neighbors worked together on the UP Community Service Day and really made a difference. With over 45 volunteers in one day lots of work got done. Tables, benches, and bleachers were painted; curbing, sidewalks, and boundaries were weeded. Mulch was spread.
We will be back to work October 13th between 9-12 so mark your calendars now. This October work party is all about helping the Park be ready for winter. We’ll weed around trees and signs, mulch heavily, and flame weed any weeds in curbing and gravel. Come join the fun. Be well, Ginger&Bob
Bee/Bird/Bat houses
Can you find the new Bee/Bird and Bat Houses in Arbor Lodge Park?
Come walk around Arbor Lodge Park and gaze up into the trees. You’ll find 2 new bat houses, 3 mason/orchard bee boxes, and 6 new bird houses. They are scattered around the Park. Sydney Suggs, a Boy Scout working on his Eagle Merit Badge, built the houses and installed them in our Park. He researched the type of birds most likely to be in residence, ditto the bats, and then build houses to specs he found on the internet for each. We asked him to add the mason/orchard bee boxes to help pollinate neighborhood fruit trees each spring. Have a fun walk and find all 11 new critter houses in our Park.
