NNRPP Launches Website
Friday, 03 April 2009
A local group of concerned citizens called the Neighborhood and Natural
Recreation Preservation Project (NNRPP) recently launched a website in
an effort to increase outreach and make available information
about the NW 26th Street Interchange and MLK Extension project, a
project the group opposes. Learn more about the group and the NW 26th
Street
Interchange/MLK Extension issue by visiting

R2G2 Clean-Up
August 15
The River Run Garbage Grab is going to be August 15, 2009. This river
cleanup will supported again by a coalition of local environmental
groups, including the Central Iowa Sierra Club. Last year, Sierra Club
ran the Yellow Banks river hosting site. We had great weather, and great
fun. Many of our members chose to participate on the water by
canoeing cleaning up a stretches of the Des Moines River between
Sycamore Access downstream to Yellow Banks Park. Other volunteers stayed
on shore de-trashing the hiking paths. The day ended at the
riverside Simon Estes outdoor amphitheater with a dinner and festival
for all the wonderful volunteers.
More information on the 2009 event will be sent out. Right now, this is
just a HOLD THE DATE for anyone who may want to join in this year's fun.
For more information on this year's event, contact Phyllis at
goodmanph@mchsi.com.
