Cleanup Crew Knocks it Out of the Park!

10/25/2022

 
Last Saturday a few neighbors assaulted the rampant overgrowth to the west side of the lower playing field. This area has not been maintained for several years and it showed! The playing field has been gradually shrinking, with tree limbs overhanging the field down to the ground, lots of muscadine vines entangled up into the canopy, and ragweed 12 feet high.
The trimmings were piled neatly for the City to remove.
There are some dried limbs that could be suitable for firewood if anyone's interested ;-) About 2/3 of the area was cleared, giving an indication of the large area to be recovered. Sign up for eNews and stay tuned for the next Special Community Cleanup!

Special Park Cleanup 9am Sat. Oct. 22

10/18/2022

 
Saturday, October 22, 2022
9:00am-10:00am
Underwood Hills Park, 1845 Harper St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA
Parks & Rec are understaffed, underfunded and unable to keep up with cleanup and trimming so we're lending a hand!
This Saturday the aim is to tackle the weeds and overhanging tree limbs beside the lower playing field.
Should be able to recover about 12 feet wide strip on one side.
Please bring gloves, branch trimmers/loppers, saws, hedge trimmers, rakes if you have them.
Even if you have no tools there'll be plenty of trimmings to haul and stack.
Best to wear long sleeves & pant legs.
No poison ivy at this location that I'm aware of though the weeds include ragweed which can be an allergen for some, so dose up on Zyrtec if needed.

Adopt a Stream monthly Bacterial and Chemical results

10/18/2022

 
Picture
A bit longer than a month since last one due to weather rescheduling.
I was hoping the e-coli load would reduce with the cooling weather but it's still very high (all those black dots on the discs are little colonies, nearly 3000/100ml), as it is in many parts of Atlanta. Dissolved Oxygen is very low and there's still a lot of brown algae on the stream bed.
Encouragingly there are signs of macro-invertebrate life- next month we'll do a proper sample. As always subscribe to our calendar for updates.
Data is published here.

General Meeting Summary

10/18/2022

 
We had a very productive meeting at The Works Marketing board room last Monday with a few others joining online.
Various sub-committee chairs reported on this year's progress, including steadily  increasing membership and engagement, a lot of activity around green space and beautification, and revamped sponsorship arrangements to account for future growth.
Highlights were the tremendous amount of volunteer work done around the park and future plans including grant applications for an Arts Activation project, new equipment (BBQs, Benches) and Sponsorship starting a Baby Welcome and New Resident welcome outreach.
We also learned of an exiting project with Upper Westside CID to connect our neighborhood towards the Silver Comet Trail.
As always you can find UHNA activities on our website and contribute your ideas and energy via any of our leadership team.

Minutes of the meeting can be viewed here.
