For Immediate Release
The Scandia Park and Recreation Committee is looking for a few good men, women and
children to get "hands-on" with improving Scandia city parks this year. Regularly
scheduled parks work days have been set: the fourth Saturday(9:00 a.m. to Noon) and
the second Wednesday (5:00 p.m. to dusk) of every month, starting April 23 through
October, except for the month of July.
The first work day(Saturday, Apri123—the day after Earth Day) is scheduled at
Lilleskogen Park. Volunteers should meet at the park at 9:00 a.m. Come help remove
invasive buckthorn from the park, and learn how to deal with it on your own property at
the same time. Bring a water bottle, insect repellent and work gloves.
Lilleskogen Park is located at the southeast corner of Highway 97 (Scandia Trail) and
Oakhill Road. This work is part of the Committee's ongoing effort to restore natural
vegetation and provide trails so residents may enjoy the park.
The location of each work day will vary; check the city website for details.
