summer Plans

We are planning lots of work on Hillmoor this summer.

Follow us as we enhance & educate.

Wednesday Walks are back!

Join us at 5:30pm any Wednesday this summer to walk the paths of Hillmoor, look at the nature that is there and discuss what is possible in the future.

We start at the main parking lot on Hwy 50/Main Street. 

Length and pace is determined by the group that shows up.

Second Saturday Cleanup

We’ll be at Hillmoor on the second Saturday of the month to clean up the entrance and pathways. Dress for the weather and the work you’d like to do. We have gardening tasks, rubbish pick up, and path clearing. Work gloves and long pant recommended.

Progress with the Avian Committee on the Stream Project

river garden 060126 copy

The plants from the grant have arrived! They’ve been planted along the stream edge and are growing, helped by Mother Nature’s glorious sunshine and the dedication of Avian Committee members to bring water to the site.

This was partially possible because of the excavation work provided by the Friends of Hillmoor. If you would like to support our work on this and other projects, pleas use this link to our donation site to help.

 

The front garden

Stop by and look at the progress

The plants we installed last fall have taken hold and are looking mature. The new plants are doing well as we nurse them along with daily watering. We’ve had a high success rate from our small seedlings and are looking forward to seeing them fully take root and blossom as summer goes on.
Next up: we need to weed the items that we didn’t plant and don’t want. Come learn to identify the same invasives that you may see in your yard.

We have a donation link!

We’re making it easier to support the Friends. You can use this link. It is located in the “Donate” link in the menu.

Keep up with the Hillmoor Commission

The Hillmoor Commission is making great strides in developing a plan for the property. They have a newsletter (monthly or as needed) with updates and information, and a link to a Comment Page where you can voice your opinions, ideas and concerns. This link takes you to the City’s website page dedicated to the Commission.

Information for your own land

We’ve been gathering information on how to make your yard a haven for you and the creatures that inhabit our world. See our page on landscape, plant, and natural ideas.
