Love Your Block celebrates one year in Whispering Pines!
We celebrated the one-year milestone of the Love Your Block program at Whispering Pines Park with 65 attendees, including Mayor Shannon Martin, Councilman David Pickett, mini-grant recipients, community partners, volunteers and residents.
The event highlighted Year 1 mini-grant accomplishments, recognized volunteers and student volunteers and shared what’ s ahead for Year 2, including new opportunities to get involved. Facilitated community discussions gave residents a chance to share feedback on local green spaces and ideas for future projects for the City’ s Naturally PSL: Green Spaces and Places initiative.
