Thank you to all our volunteers who came out Saturday September 19th for our SOLVE Cleanup Event at Nadaka! We were able to remove 20 cubic yards of invasive species/debris, remove litter, and weed the front 2 acres of the park. A special thank you to Jazzy Bagels and community member Janet Lee for donating refreshments for the event! For more ways to volunteer at Nadaka, please email the Nadaka Coordinator at monica@friendsofnadaka.org. We look forward to seeing everyone at the park this fall!
