Pleasant Hills Arboretum

#MemorialDay #MemorialDay2021

A large part of scouting is service to the community. Pack 562 banded together and volunteered their evening helping clean up and pull invasive plants at the Pleasant Hills Arboretum.

Yesterday Alex Brown finished his Eagle Scout project of restoring the trail from the Oakcrest Lane entrance. Even though his rental UTV had transmission problems, he was able to get the trail mulched. Steve Brown was able to find a drivable route, which helped move more mulch. The Arboretum board appreciates the hard work and determination!

We lost a tulip tree in the storm.

What a lovely surprise today when Bernadette and I pulled into the Arboretum and there was a group of five people there playing music and singing. With their pe...rmission I recorded them. It was such a delight to see people utilizing the gazebo and the Arboretum in such an enjoyable way. The name of the group is called the Ukiholics. The five people in the groups names are Joe, Peggy, V, Regina, & Bob. Thank you for sharing your music with us! See more

We had some additional fencing added this week. Metro Fence Company did a great job.

Thank you for your service! #thankyouveterans

We had a memorial tree planting today for Barbara Lazzara . Her son David was there to help. The little grove of trees are Sourwood.

This Saturday 9:30-11:30 we'll be having a volunteer work day. We'll be watering plants, pruning trees, mulching and more. Also we're looking for people to donate 1 gallon jugs with lids for water. Any help would be appreciated.
