Wrangell has a lot to offer people who live here and those who visit. Certainly the river, Native history and culture, Petroglyph Beach, the museum and fishing are on the list. So, too, is an attractive downtown.
It’s spring, which means it’s time for volunteers to pitch in with a rake, a shovel, pruning shears or weeding gloves to keep downtown looking good through the summer months — when everything looks better and greener than the recently departed winter.
The parks and recreation department is running an adopt-a-garden program again this year to entice and encourage volunteers to help beautify downtown. The department is planning a work party for April 6. Look for more details to come, but make a note to help out with opening the garden beds that day, whether adding fertilizer, mulch, weeding and trimming bushes and shrubs.
The department staff already takes care of 56 acres of parks and trails and could use some help on the 10 garden beds planted in the bump-outs on street corners downtown. There are no annual flowers or plants that need constant maintenance and watering. The work is pretty basic and much appreciated by locals and visitors alike.
