Next BGH WorkDay - January 15th, 2011

Hi Friends of BGH,
The bulk of the trail work will be finishing up over the next few weeks. Still to do: finish the lower steps and drainage and build the retaining wall at the lower sidewalk. Also have grass and wildflower seed to scatter. Here is a slide show of the trail work as it was on Oct 30th. We planted over 150 plants along the new trail with the help of over a dozen volunteers. Thanks to everyone for getting muddy!!




Next Official BGH Workday is scheduled for January 15th. We will be doing more planting at the lower entrance which is great fun for kids! 
We will also be working with The Neighborhood Parks Council to establish our 501c3 status and have an official 'steering committee' for Friends of Billy Boat Hill. The steering committee will meet quarterly to plan work days and raise funds needed for plants, grass seeds, signs, etc. So far, we have Jeanne Koelling, Kate Haug & Lisa Ghotbi (me).  If you are interested in being a member of the steering committee, let me know!
