Friends of Forest Hill Park Meet Tuesday

The next regular meeting of the Friends of Forest Hill Park will be held Tuesday, June 30, at 7 p.m., in the Stone House. Come find out more about what’s going on and how you can participate. Here’s a little about what’s going on in the park:

• The old Stone House is getting improvements, including new curtains in the main meeting areas and a kitchen update.
• Thanks to Robin Ruth for her work at updating FFHP’s website. Check it out for news, meeting dates, and other items of interest.
• Nathan Burell with the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation is working on maintaining and improving the bike trails in the park. He and his crews have reclaimed 395 feet of unsustainable trail and have rebuilt 284 feet of new trail. If you’re interested in volunteering to work on the crew, please contact Nathan at 357-8897 or by emailThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
• Many non-native plant species have invaded the park and FFHP supporter Suzette Lyon has been spearheading an effort to eradicate these invasives in the old Azalea Garden. The garden, located near Forest Hill Avenue and Roanoke Street, was planted with azaleas in the 1930s and provided plant stock for the azaleas in Bryan Park. The area is already taking on a new look with the removal of ivy from around tree trunks and healthy native plants. More information can be found on the FFHP website. If you are interested in assisting with this project, please contact Suzette.This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
