Greenbelt and Prairie Restoration
You can help make Bachman Lake Park the recreational hub that area residents deserve. Help us keep the park clean and safe and enhance the enjoyment for all by focusing on our green spaces. The Bachman Lake Greenbelt is in desperate need of cleaning, brush clearing, native plant nurturing, foot trails and bridges that will traverse natural obstacles. You can help make this an amazing escape like no other in our area!
​
If you can't volunteer, don't forget that your donations help fund the necessary activities and supplies to restore the Greenbelt, plant native flora and build bridges so the foot trails can connect. Help enhance the park experience!

Directions:
-
Make your way to the water tank and turn ON the spigot. See image.
-
Follow the hose down the hill or go back to the trail (safer) to make your way to the area to be watered. We had initially left the hose coiled next to the bench but found it challenging to unspool the hose, so it is now stretched out across the area to be watered. Not sure what is best, that is why we are testing! See image.
-
This is a very long hose and hard to maneuver, you may need two people to lift section over plants. Note that water flow is slow, so consider this a meditative watering event. There are some small plants in the watering zone, so make sure you don’t step on them but do give them a drink! There are also two new oak trees with water bags, if the tree water bags are empty, please fill them. The See image.
-
Once you are done watering the trees and the plants, turn OFF the water spigot at the water tank.

If you cannot water the week you signed-up for because ‘life happens’, please reply back to this group to see if someone can pick up your shift.
