Team,

Mr. Nature must have done more than leave the toilet seat up…………Mother hasn’t been this pissed in quite some time!!

Hopefully he can redeem himself this weekend with some chocolates and maybe a red rose or two.

As a result of Mom Nature’s current mindset we are postponed for just about everything….including trailwork.

We are hoping that Pa Nature chooses the best of chocolates and roses and soften her attitude a little so we can dry out a bit.

If so, we are hoping to get back to tending the trails.

Look for more information in regards to trailwork on upcoming dates: 2/20/10 and 2/27/10.

Since the postponed date was a Team Trail Date, we will extend that opportunity to both 2/20 and 2/27.

Thanks for all you do and we hope to see you out there.

Subject: Forest Hill Park - Let's plant some trees!

On February 27th we will be working with Friends of Forest Hill Park, Forest Hill Civic Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, RA-MORE and the City of Richmond Parks and Recreation Department  to reclaim the old trails on the eastern side of Forest Hill Park. The Friends of Forest Hill Park have purchased $3,000 worth of native and specialized plants to go along with the 1,500 hard wood saplings that Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay has donated, as well as all the plants that RA-MORE volunteers dug up and staged from the new trail corridor. 

This will be a fun day planting trees in the park,  so come out and get to know your park neighbors and fellow organizations helping to make this project a reality.  This is a family friendly event so please bring the kids. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Date: Saturday, February 27th

Time: 9:00 Am - 1:00 PM
