Get to Know Your Lagoon & Stewardship Day

Join the McKinley Park Advisory Council for their 2019 McKinley Park Stewardship Days, held 9 a.m. to noon the fourth Saturday of each month. This will help beautify and protect the park, incuding its lagoon and nature trails. Volunteer tasks vary each month, but might include trail maintenance, planting, pruning, weeding, controlling invasive plant species, seed collection and trash pick-up.

The July 27 Stewardship Day features a "Get To Know Your Lagoon" ecology class taught by local scientists John and Samantha Belcik.

The group meets on the west side of the lagoon in McKinley Park at the stump circle; tools and work gloves will be provided. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the field house, with an entrance off Pershing Road. For more information, contact Katie Flores at katie.e.flores@gmail.com.
