The Healthy Waters : Healthy Communities Bellemeade Community Open House will take place Tuesday, December 13, 2011 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. at Bellemeade Elementary School (2409 Webber Avenue, Richmond, VA) Map
Bellemeade Walkable Watershed Project: The Bellemeade neighborhood includes a creek that could offer park space and activities for residents. During this open house ideas from students, residents and community members will be shared about how to improve the creek and unite the neighborhood around the new Oak Grove Elementary School. Ideas for the neighborhood will be posted in the school cafeteria to view and discuss.
Please come and provide input on these ideas to:
• Slow, infiltrate and clean rain water.
• Improve walking routes to the community center and new school.
• Connect the neighborhood to the creek, the regional trail and the James River.
• Create outdoor education opportunities.
• Develop a sense of community centered around the new school and the watershed.
A project overview, including a presentation by 5th grade students will be held at 4 p.m. Snacks will be provided & families are welcome!
