Activities

Friends of O'Dea High School-- We invite you to spend an afternoon getting your hands dirty restoring the Genesee forest. We'll be tucking baby plants into the ground as we finish our Fall planting. As always, there will also be ivy to pull, blackberries to cut down, and mulch to haul.

All ages OK

19 out of 20 participants registered.

What to Bring

Dress for the weather, including sturdy shoes and clothes to protect you from blackberry thorns. Bring gloves a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Where to Meet

Meet in the forest on the east side of the Genesee Meadow. From the gravel parking lot, walk north, towards the lake, past the picnic shelter towards the trail kiosk. The site is just to the east of the kiosk. (if you are by the soccer fields you are in the wrong part of the park!)

Where to Park

Park in the gravel lot next to the Parks maintenance building on the north side of Genesee St. or along the perimeter of the park on 43rd Ave. S. If you are arriving by bus, the 50 is your best option.
