The awesome Four Cities Peer Court
group worked at Nadaka on Wednesday, June 26th. They not only removed all the remaining weeds from the future community garden but they cleared and mulched this sweet little unofficial nature based play area on the meadow. Thank you all for your hard work.
On June 15 & 16, 2013 the 671st Engineering Company of the Army Reserves came out to Nadaka to move boulders out along NE Glisan. They also worked with other volunteers removing weeds from the future community garden area.
The 671st and other volunteers put in a total of 690.5 hours and we can’t thank them enough. Also Jazzy Bagels donated their delicious bagels for the volunteers. Check out more photos from the event on the Photos page.
In honor of Father’s Day why not spend the morning at Nadaka on Saturday, June 15th helping cleanup the park by removing invasives, clearing weeds from the future community garden and begin moving the boulders out along NE Glisan. The Army Reservists will be there to do the boulder moving but there will be alot to do in the park. Cleanup activities will begin at 9:00 am and end around 1:00 pm. Come dressed for the weather and we will have work gloves, shovels, and other equipment needed for the cleanup. Refreshments will be provided for volunteers.

On April 20, 2013 there was a cleanup at Nadaka with SOLVE. There were 38 people who participated logging in 103 hours of volunteer time. With a small grant from SOLVE the Friends of Nadaka were able to purchase 20 pair of work gloves, 4 large Sword Ferns and 3 Currants which were planted by the Girl Scouts. Check out the gallery for more photographs from the event.
A big thank you to Jazzy Bagel for again furnishing their wonderful bagels and the Wilkes East Neighborhood Association for furnishing the porta potty. The Center for Family Success donated apple juice and bananas for the event.
