Hello Park Visitors —

 This is coyote pupping season — there have already been sightings of pups in Golden Gate Park and elsewhere. it might be helpful to know as much as possible about what behavior to expect from them, especially in relation to ourselves and pets.

First Sunday Greening – Informal Weeding on August 4

Weeds and trash don’t take a day off, so while there is no formal weeding this Sunday,it would be great if you could check for trash and pick some up wherever you might be!

Some watering on our medians might be welcome too.

Plant reminder: Have you an eye on plants in your garden that you’d like to migrate to Circular or some other public spot when the rains come? They’ll be very welcome. Just keep them alive, and we’ll have some planting days at the end of the year!

Thank you. See you at the SNA meeting on August 5th, or in September.

A half dozen Yee high school interns worked along side Sunnyside neighbors. All were protected by DPW road cones stretching from Ridgeway Avenue to Circular Avenue.

“It’s so cool to see the community come out,” said, Mekdelawit “Maggie” Beruk, a high school intern who’ll be a senior this fall at the International Studies Academy.
