Making Healing Spaces – Volunteer Day

3939 E Gregory Blvd.,Kansas City MO 64132

Description

The forest at 3939 E Gregory Blvd is full of beauty, and it's revealed the perfect spot for a natural amphitheater. Let's build it together. In the mornings when the air is cool our main task of relocating stones and logs for seating and edging stays easy breezy. When the soil is still damp from the morning dew, the honeysuckle bushes agree to come out of the ground properly. This is why we typically work in the mornings. Occasionally volunteers opt to come back after a break for lunch, so we leave the gate open the whole day, in a "Mi casa es su casa" manner of working together for the same goal. Top of the list for 2021: Finish preparation of the natural amphitheater seating area looking over Fox Hollow Creek. Projects include natural seating construction, bush honeysuckle removal, light landscaping with native plants. Preparations: Wear a mask, "closed-toe" shoes with tread, and dress appropriate to the temperature. Bring your own personal water, snacks, work-gloves, sunscreen and bug spray. Additional comfort-level items: sunglasses, hat, picnic blanket.
