Summary
For their 21st year, the Friends of Beaver Ponds Park continued to gather every Wednesday evening. Each meeting began under the grand catalpa tree, where members sat on stone benches, sharing introductions, announcements, and stories as they planned their evening’s work. After receiving a grant for a new playground this year, Beaver Ponds Park continued to improve this space through removing invasive species, clearing debris and trash, watering, spreading mulch, and even creating new paths through their garden beds. Even as the group faced plant thefts, they continued to find ways to plant new native plants for people to enjoy. This close-knit group of volunteers continues to innovate and create a special area for all of its surrounding neighbors.
