Volunteers Needed
Greetings, Parks & Recreation Volunteers!
You can really start to feel it now; the weather outside is beautiful! Which means it's time to start making plans to spend a lot more time outdoors. And what better way to spend your time then volunteering in our beautiful parks and natural areas. We hope to see many of you out to some of our upcoming May, June, and July

To: All Wilkes East residents From: Nick Kantor, Community Habitat Steward -City of Gresham
"I have 15 crabapples (8- Royal Raindrop, and 7- Red Jewel) I want to plant in Gresham. I would like to pick one neighborhood or street. It has to be a neighborhood with a 2.5 to 4 ft. planting strip near the street. The sooner the better. They are in containers and I would like to make the planting of the trees a volunteer event for sometime in May."
If you are interested, please contact Nick Kantor, Community Habitat Steward - City of Gresham, call 503-618-2740, or email nick.kantor@ci.gresham.or.us.
Wilkes East Neighborhood Association is preparing a grant proposal to "dress up" the entrance to Nadaka Park and add some fresh walking trail flooring (gravel, tree chips, etc.).
We are looking for persons interested in designing an entrance piece to Nadaka Park located at NE 176th Ave and NE Pacific St.
We hope that spring is treating you well. The daffodils and tulips are emerging and reminding us why we like this time of year so much. Not to mention, Earth Day is right around the corner!
