Local groups ISO volunteers for planting trees, protecting streams, planning fun events

February 25, 2020 by FHC Leave a Comment

Friends of Forest Hills Playground makes sure the park’s amenities remain safe and in good shape. The nonprofit organizes popular events like the summer concerts and Halloween Spooktacular. And the small but mighty board needs more hands to do everything they would like to do for the park and the neighborhood. They are meeting today from 7:30-8:30 p.m. in the lobby of 3001 Veazey Terrace to plan for this spring and summer. Contact the group at foresthillsplayground@gmail.com.

Van Ness Main Street is inviting community members to join its events committee as it plans, organizes and executes community outings and events now through December 2020. Tell Gloria@VanNessMainStreet.org a little about yourself.

Rock Creek Conservancy is co-hosting an Adopt-A-Stream training session on Saturday, March 7th. Trainees will learn to track and document trash levels in waterways and how to successfully host trash cleanup efforts. (And you are welcome to apply what you’ve learned at the daylighted Broad Branch Stream, which does not currently have an Adopt-A-Stream leader.) Find more information and register here.

Casey Trees has just released its list of spring volunteer events. One is a March 21st community tree planting at Fort Reno. And keep an eye out for opportunities to learn how to speak for the trees.
