At last week’s King NA meeting, King resident Diego Gioseffi came and talked with us about an idea for removing ivy and blackberry from part of the grounds surrounding the King School, and replacing them with native plants.  He described the garbage that has accumulated among the weeds, and the vermin that feeds on it.

At our meeting this coming Thursday, KNA will be taking a look at Diego’s grant proposal to the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District for funds to cover the cost of plants for the site. We invite you to join the discussion!

We’ll gather at the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods office, 4815 NE 7th Avenue, at 6 pm, on Thursday. We expect it to be a quick meeting ~ the grant proposal is the only subject we’ll discuss.
