Today, Penelope and Sarah are reading “Blueberries for Sal”, a Caldecott Medal- winning children’s book by Robert McCluskey. Join us at 10am on Thursdays for live Zoom story time, and check back here for video recording of the stories. If you have stories that you’d like us to read, or you’d like to read with us, please let us know, and thanks for joining us!
More than once recently we have been made aware of incidents where people have been harvesting rocks directly out of the river, and from other areas of the Park for commercial/artistic use. This is damaging to the Park, and a prime example of inconsiderate Park use.
It took decades for over twenty Ailanthus altissima and Paulownia tomentosa trees to tower over Riverside Drive and Buttermilk Trail west of the 42nd Street entrance to the James River Park System. But it took just four days to take them down and prevent regrowth of these two invasive tree species.
For Aimee, becoming our newest ParkStar as the James River Park System’s Park Ranger Supervisor represents a sort of homecoming.
