Hi CAC neighbors,
AGENDA UPDATE: We will have a police report, but no presentation on rezoning case Z-83-22 (just a quick update). The focus of this meeting will be on Raleigh’s environment and what we can do to improve it as Raleigh continues to grow.
Our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting will be this coming Tuesday, April 23rd at 7:00 PM. We’ll be meeting at the Jaycee Park facility along Wade Avenue.
Agenda:• Police report• Presentation on Biophilia and Raleigh’s membership in the international network of Biophilic Cities. (1)• Kate Dixon (now on the Raleigh Parks Board) will talk about volunteer efforts to remove invasive plant species from our City parks. (2)
Click here for more news about Raleigh’s environment and Kate Dixon.

(1) One of our very active CAC members and super volunteer, Marsha Presnell-Jennette, thought it would be good for us to hear from Brian Smith (our Natural Resources Superintendent) about the Biophilic Cities Network and Raleigh’s efforts to improve our environment and connections to it. Read more about Biophilic design and concepts.
(2) Kate Dixon and a group of other volunteers have been holding a weekly workday to remove invasive plants like English ivy and privet from Windemere Beaver Dam Park, just north of Wade Avenue. They’ve made great progress, and Kate will speak to us about their work and ideas about how to expand the effort to other parks like Jaycee Park.
If you have a neighborhood listserv, please forward this email to your list.
See you on the 23rd,Mike
