Nicholl Park Garden Expansion, YES Nature to Neighborhoods

On January 28, 2023, 30 volunteers arrived one early morning with a plan in mind: to fix up Nicholl Park. These volunteers worked to pick up litter and trash, pull weeds, build garden beds, lay healthy sheet mulch, source a water fill station, add planter boxes, and then plant native flowers inside. Furthermore, they painted the planter boxes with bright, colorful designs, and created small signs with names of the plants, adding a pop of color to the park. There were 32 plants planted, 4 planter boxes built, and 10 pounds of trash removed! That's not all---with the help of Richard Muro Salazar, a local muralist, volunteers were able to paint over the park's central structures, (which included a resilience hub). The gorgeous art consisted of flowers, fruits, and patterns, adding a more personal touch to the local and well-loved park.

Coastal Clean-up, Anne-Marie Amaro


On September 24, 2022, 65 volunteers, all residents, picked up nearly 40 cubic yards of trash from the streets, creeks, and homeless encampments. Over 250 trash bags were filled, and 8,000 pounds of trash was removed! In partnership with SPAWNERS, SOS! Richmond, El Sobrante Public Library, and Richmond Park and Landscaping Division, neighbors tackled areas around District 4 with bags, safety vests, trash grabbers and bags to spread out across town and worked together collaboratively to make the streets a cleaner and safer place.

To Be Seen, Parchester Village Neighborhood Council 



On June 6, 2023, six volunteers worked to power wash, cut weeds, mow the grass, and remove trash from the streets of  Collins and Griffin Drive. The end result would allow the beautiful mural and entrance of Parchester Village to be visible from all different angles! 

Panhandle Annex Pollinator Garden Restoration Project, Panhandle Annex Neighborhood Council

On November 15, 2022, volunteers focused on replanting native Californian plants along the sound wall of S. 55th Street. These pollinators, which are natives to the Panhandle Annex, provide hosts that are beneficial to the ecosystem. Volunteers also expanded the pollinator corridor and add curb strips as to improve the overall aesthetic of the neighborhoods. Their efforts revitalized 3 gardens, filled 10 bags of trash, and removed over 40 pounds of litter! Volunteers even included homeowners themselves, who wanted their streets to be a cleaner and prettier sight.

S. 16th St Little Library, Britnie Stuward


On October 15, 2022, 12 volunteers (children and adults), joined together to collect trash in the space between the streets and the sidewalk of S. 16th street. They also cleaned up and planted pollinator plants in the front lot. Afterwards, they installed a little free library, stocked it up with donated books. To make it more pretty, children painted over the box together. This little library addition is a great incentive that will encourage more kids to read and makes the neighborhood more distinctive. This six-hour project was a fun time for all and also made a big impact on the beauty of the street!
