Community Groups at the Market: Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek

Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek is a great group of dedicated, active volunteers. Visit Sheila Salo at the Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek table this Saturday to learn about two exciting projects at the first 2013 market.

You will find information on heaths in Cheverly. What is a heath? Azaleas, mountain laurel, blueberries, and more -- they're all heaths. We'll show you how to find heaths along the Woodworth Park trails, built and maintained by the volunteers of Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek. 2013 has been designated the Year of the Heath by the Maryland Native Plant Society.

You will also find information on the Town Park restoration plan drafted by the Neighborhood Design Center and organized by the Cheverly Green Infrastructure Committee. The plan's most important purpose is reduction of erosion and soil compaction in the park. Come and learn about the elements of the re-design and make your opinion known.
