Blue Heron Park restoration project work party

A work party at Blue Heron Park on November 8, 2025, mobilized 30 volunteers for the park's restoration project. Volunteers concentrated on cleaning the main planting area to facilitate soil renovation and the installation of an irrigation system. The planting efforts will focus on native, pollinator-friendly, and water-wise plants, with plans for new signage in the future. Groups like Rotary, Interact, and Master Gardeners, alongside city council members, contributed to the community effort. The scheduled work parties will occur every second Saturday of the month, weather permitting, reinforcing community involvement in local ecological restoration.

This long-term project aims to improve the park's environment over several years. The collaboration among various organizations highlights the community's commitment to sustainable practices. Engaging local volunteers fosters a sense of ownership and stewardship in the park's future.
