2019 was a busy year! We worked on removing decades of old trash. We had large tire removal projects while dealing with new dumping challenges. We requested simple things that would help like no dumping sign, lighting and a little fencing- nothing ever happened.

Pictures of our founder and 2019 President, Jacky Paulson below. Thank You for your stewardship and concern for our neighborhood park.
Our second year of cleaning Mandan. It seemed like the trash was never ending.
Unfortunately, the only help we got was from Keep Omaha Beautiful.
Mount Vernon Gardens wasn't any better. Some of the trash there dated back to the 70's and much earlier.
Two of our most loyal helpers in our efforts to clean these parks, Chris and Corey.
For the work that they did, we consider them to be our A-Team!

Even when it seemed like we would never finish, Steve never gave up.
