Friends of Tugman – February 2023 Report
- We held one volunteer work event in February on Wednesday, 2/8.
- February 8th highlights: we removed the cages from the (7) oaks trees lining the Fawn Lily Rise path in the park’s south slope in order to weed and prep the ground for bark chip mulch addition in early March; cages were re-secured following our prep work
- We canceled our scheduled Wed. 2/22 work event due to inclement weather. Instead, 6 of us met for lunch and enjoyed the camaraderie of our neighborhood Tugger team.
- We expect several Tuggers to participate in the next Amazon Creek tree planting event which has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 11th.
- We received approval from Parks & Open Space to start our restoration project in the natural area just south of the plaque circle in the park’s north end. This work will commence in late march/early April and will include chopping back of the invasive grasses, placement of fabric/plastic to kill off grasses, coverage of the area in mulch and eventually restore the area with appropriate native plants in the coming year(s).
- The Friends of Tugman park adoption contract with P&OS covering 2023-2025 has now been signed and finalized.
