Community Garden Update
Dear Garden Enthusiasts,
I hope you are well and that you are enjoying this beautiful day!
The garden committee has met and we are moving ahead at full force! We are planning two working days coming up that I would love for you to get on your calendar. The first day is May 18th at the Ashcroft site. We are planning from 10am - 3pm and anticipate getting this garden up and running!
The second date is May 19 at the Cambridge site, from 1pm - 5pm.
This year, our goal will be to have 40 raised beds on each site, with some additional components as well. On these days, we will be preparing some of the community site, and hopefully installing some of the beds that we are able to put together prior to the date, and on the date specifically!
We are going to have topsoil and some compost delivered to the sites to ensure that we have good soil for the season.
We will have a full plan shortly, but please save the date and invite ALL interested parties. We will have plenty of work to keep us busy. I look forward to talking you you soon, and if you are interested in reserving one of the plots, please let me know! Information on the beds is below:
Size: 12 foot long, by 4 foot wide, by 10 inches tall.
Cost: Year 1 - $25 (future cost TBD)
Thanks!

Parks Commission Speaker
The next speaker for the Parks Commission series is Amy Karaban and is being held at a regular meeting of the Parks Commission, Monday, May 13th, 7 p.m., at the Redford Community Center, 12121 Hemingway, 48239. I am excited about the information we can potentially get from her to potentially apply in the Township here. The public is encouraged to attend.
Amy Karaban is the Assistant Director for Civic Engagement at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. In this role, she has had the opportunity to build social change based leadership programs, and infrastructure for service - allowing students to engage in the community. Most recently, she developed a student food pantry for students struggling to make ends meet. Karaban earned her Bachelor's degree from Michigan Sate University, her Masters degree from Eastern Michigan University in Educational Leadership and is currently a doctoral student at Michigan State University studying Higher, Adult and Lifelong Education.
She will be speaking about creating visions for change, and then utilizing goal setting and other strategic planning techniques to make the vision a reality. She will also touch on teaching leadership through vision development, building confidence and self-esteem in young females, and ideas and lessons learned for communicating event information.
Tuesday, May 7th- Trails in Redford and Beyond
A meeting is being called for concerned citizens in order to seek public comment and participation on establishing a trail system within the community of Redford, and beyond. An outstanding video, involving the Michigan Municipal League, on creating community, will be shown. There is currently a plan for a trail system within the Township's Recreation Master Plan. Residents and non residents are encouraged to attend the meeting at the Redford District Library, 25320 Six Mile Road, Redford, 48240. The meeting is being held Tuesday, May 7th, 6 p.m., upstairs meeting room, Room B.
The concept of the trail system is to work on multiple levels- a means for handicap transportation, disaster evacuation, day to day economic use, Senior citizen transportation, etc. The concept is also open, so that the maximum use can be obtained for the money expended, by making the system as multi-seasonal and as multi-use as much as possible. Your ideas are needed and requested. Participation is not restricted to Redford Township. For further information call 313-255-7429. Next meetings are planned for May 21st and June 4th, same time and place.
