We are responsible for the initiation or facilitation of:
- Creating the City's tree nursery
- Obtaining the City's designation as a 'Tree City USA' for five years in a row
- Organizing Arbor Day events with the City
- Planting and caring for several hundred trees in the Midway Cemetery and the Walter Bradley City Park
- Developing the landscape at Walter Bradley City Park
- Maintaining and improving trails
- Removing invasive species
- Establishing and maintaining a native species garden
- Organizing and conducting educational workshops for grade school children
- Partnering with the City to restore Lees Branch Creek
Current initiatives include:
- GRO - Greenspace Reaches Out - providing assistance with small-scale flower garden and landscaping tasks to our neighbors with disabilities, who cannot manage these jobs alone.
- Conducting Rain Garden Seminars and demonstration projects
The Greenspace Committee holds monthly meetings to identify and schedule work projects and to discuss ideas.
