Seward Park News
The barred owls and eagles are courting, and the Scouler's willows should be putting out their 'pussies' soon. Winter gulls and ducks are still abundant. And so are winter volunteers - over 200 showed up on MLK Day to help with reforestation in the Lost Lake area.
I'm pleased to announce that the Friends have submitted a letter of intention requesting $400,000 from the Pro Parks Levy's Opportunity Fund for implementation of our trail plan and related projects. This is only the first step - a more formal application will take place in April, and a decision won't be rendered until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, we are continuing to work on trail marker design and are recruiting volunteers to help with the earthquake fault trail. You could be one of them.
We are also starting to plan for the Seward Park Centennial in 2011, which should be a very fun project and a great way for many people to celebate their love of Seward Park.
The Friends of Seward Park meet on the 1st Saturday of most months at 9:30 - 11:00 am in the Seward Park Environmental and Audubon Center (SPEAC) near the park entrance.
The next Friends of Seward Park meeting will be March 6, 2010.
