Friends of Bachman Lake - Greenbelt Edition
Each quarter, our regular newsletter edition will focus on the Bachman Lake Greenbelt, since the restoration of this section of the park east of the lake, long hidden from many, is a vital part of our mission. Friends of Bachman Lake is taking the restoration of the Bachman Greenbelt to a whole new level in 2026. Thanks to a very generous donation at the end of last year, we are looking to get all the invasive privet removed by March! This is truly a transformational effort!
