THE FOCP Tree Committee is reviving the long-dormant Memorial Tree program. In return for a $500 donation to the Tree Endowment Fund for Long-Term Tree Care, anyone may chose from among the many newly planted shade trees to honor someone who has passed. The tree will receive attractive metal protection, and the donor will receive a certificate documenting the tree's dedication in honor of the

A cool, damp day in January is actually a good day to study the park's true condition, when it is not masked by balmy sunshine and cheerful greenery. If you have a few free moments today, Friends of Clark Park can bone up on Wednesday's important General Membership Meeting by taking a few minutes to walk through the "A" (North) Park, between Baltimore and Chester Aves. -- and look around.Notice

Many people are anxious to learn more about the proposed "A" (North) Park redesign, which is being negotiated with landscape architect Simone Collins at this time. It will have quite an impact on the park! The FOCP Planning Committee has been busy trying to bring this major project into line with community concerns.Learn about this at the FOCP General Membership Meeting this coming Wednesday at

Updating North Park's redesign is on the agenda for the membership meeting, January 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Room C, Griffith Hall, preceded by a reception at 7:00 p.m. The trees in the park are a big issue. The original proposal identifies a number of these for removal and/or replacement based on a number of factors, including projected lifetimes and the hazards associated with dead or dying trees,

With some help from UCD and FOCP's Maintenance Committee, I want to construct some bat houses for Clark Park. The bat houses I am going to construct will be 51" x 24" and around 3/4" deep. They will look like a very thin rectangular prism. There will be one opening at the bottom, where bats can enter and hang upside down in the bat house.The advantages of having bat houses in the area are: the

Friends of Clark Park saw 16 young trees planted last fall -- a record! But hard experience has taught us that many of those trees will die soon&nbsp if they don't get proper tending. This spring they'll all need proper staking, watering and mulching. Officially trained tree tenders can guide other volunteers to accomplish these lifegiving chores. Tree tenders learn how to care for trees on their

At the last General Membership Meeting some Friends complained about difficulties they had trying to obtain a license for their dogs. The process has now been simplified: the initial application and annual renewals are handled by mail. Click on for pet licensing . You will see an explanation of the benefits you gain.

The other night, at the Winter Membership Meeting, it occurred to me that the users of Clark Park form a unique community that crosses boundaries. It doesn't matter where you live, what you do for a living, or what your income is. You use Clark Park and care about it.Members of our diverse community, people who use the park have individual reasons for doing so. Click here to send us an e-mail
