Anniversary Project
Approved!
At the Jan 2010 monthly meeting members
approved the $35,000 budget needed for our
"75th Anniversary Project". We plan to
replace the existing benches with Teak
benches, replant the
embankment defined by the sitting wall with
drought tolerant, low maintenance,
hybridized natives. And the chain link fence
will also be replaced with 48"
bronze aluminum coated fence to bring the
fence up to code, meeting homeland security
standards. The old fence will be recycled. In
a nutshell we will: recycle, restore, and
renew the ferry boat landing an area we
have taken stewardship of since 1999.
Bartlett Arboretum &
Gardens Events is an
incredible local resource for
us. Click
