CABQ gives us about 30 minutes notice when chips are on the way. If you are interested in being on our urgent mulch spreading text list, please let us know.
We are also looking for volunteers able to bring exterior primer and any artistic skills you may have! We currently have permission to begin painting murals on several walls.
**Alley is behind the address listed on this form. Enter alley either from Southern or Trumbull.
We have the call out to several neighbors and volunteer groups, as we need to clear the alley by spreading the chips ASAP so that cars are able to enter and exit the alley (our neighbors use this alley most every day)
Why are we mulching the alley park? https://youtu.be/iC7GQHp9-8Q?si=SNpelId7gSUzUE2E As we create this new alley path/park and encourage more of our neighbors to begin reclamation on their alleyways, adding wood chips immediately cools the surface temperature, helps the soil retain moisture, and improves soil quality over time.
You can text 505-227-5963 - I can respond on my breaks from work today. But any interested volunteers can also just bring a shovel, rake, buckets or a wheel barrel to the alley between Southern/Trumbull and 700 Cardenas and Valencia and start spreading chips on the spots which are currently bare.
Please join us in increasing the number of open space, neighborhood cooling, alley parks in our city!
