We got all the brush loaded up this morning! It's starting to look really good over at the trail entrance. Next up we are going to be planting some trees back in this area around the pond as well as some native grasses and shrubs. 

Big thank you to the Roseburg Parks Department, City of Roseburg, and Roseburg Disposal for all your help! Also big thank you to Moses, Abraham, Tracy, Jaime, and Keith McDonald for all your hard work! 

Stewart Park Natural Area Work Project

We had another successful landscaping and cleanup project today out at the Winchester Dam parking lot and around the viewing area grounds. 10 volunteers worked for 4-5 hours each this afternoon to get all the work done. The weather did not quite cooperate as it rained hard at times and made the cleanup take quite a bit longer than normal. 

We had two industrial mowers and five weedwhackers going most of the day and then a fleet of leafblowers at the end to clean everything up. 

Huge thank you to Scott Fenn and Ryan Burchell from S & R Yard Maintenance who brought out their two landscaping trucks and trailers full of all their gear. The work could not have been accomplished without them and their equipment! 

Also big thank you to Keith McDonald for your help and continued work and maintenance at this site. 

Thank you to Christina Ramage, Degan Clevenger, Jennifer Edge, Moses Finlay, Elijah Finlay and Abraham Finlay for all your hard work this afternoon! 

We had pizza afterward for all the volunteers through a kind donation from Luann Urban. Thank you Luann!

Volunteers Cleanup the Winchester Dam Viewing Area 

Eleven volunteers showed up on Saturday morning to continue several projects being worked on at the ponds in Stewart Park. 

More bark chips were spread out in front of the north pond to help the area retain moisture, especially around the new plants that were recently put in. 

Bark mulch was spread around the new plants and flowers by the information kiosk to help keep moisture in and ground surface temperatures down to help the new plants get established going through the summer. 

Lots of pruning also took place removing invasive plants and blackberry bushes in the area. The group was able to fill a 20-yard dumpster full. 

We also were able to paint the observation deck between the north and south pond. 

It was also an exciting day as the new irrigation for the area is now up and running to keep all the new plants and trees watered through the spring and summer! 

Big thank you to all the volunteers that showed up and helped out, to Luann Urban for providing refreshments and support, and City of Roseburg Parks Department workers for their support in pulling this off. 

We are making lots of progress and it’s really starting to come together! There will be more work days coming up and we’ll keep you posted!

Community Volunteers Continue Work Projects at the Stewart Park Ponds

Went back and finished painting the bird observation deck this evening and finished up just as the sun was setting! Such an improvement! Big thank you to Tom & Kathy Cross for getting the painting started yesterday! Also, thank you to Tracy Pope and the Roseburg Parks Department for the paint and supplies! 

We got a lot of work done on Saturday, I'll share more about it tomorrow! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Bird Observation Deck Repainted in Stewart Park 

We are going to be having another workday at the Stewart Park ponds this Saturday morning! At 9 am we are going to be spreading some more bark chips to finish off the area in front of the parking lot, spreading some bark mulch around the new plants, doing some pruning and invasive weed removal in front of the ponds, and painting the observation deck that overlooks the south pond.

The main things volunteers can bring are gloves, pruners/loppers if you have any, a wheelbarrow, or two with some shovels and rakes.

It's going to be a beautiful day! Let me know if you can make it or if you have any questions. It will be great seeing a bunch of you on Saturday!

Also, I could have a few pizzas brought to us around 11:30 or so if anyone's interested afterward?
