While many of us were indulging in Thanksgiving leftovers or enjoying a beautiful day on the Turtle Creek Trail, TCA vendors were hard at work addressing the long overdue aftermath of a summer storm. Thanks to the generosity of TCA Patron Society Members Susan and Greg Baten, crews cleared four truckloads of fallen tree limbs, removed five dead trees, trimmed hazardous dead branches, and raised the canopies of several large trees near Park Bridge Court. These efforts have significantly enhanced both the safety and aesthetics of the area.

Additionally, with the strong support of multiple TCA members and donors, we continued our maintenance of the east and west banks of the ravine between Park Bridge Court and Fairmount. This ongoing effort included trimming the ravine throughout the summer, ensuring it remains clean, safe, and visually appealing. Recognizing that this can’t be a one-and-done proposition, we are committed to the consistent upkeep to preserve this cherished area.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the donors and members who make these efforts possible. We also want to recognize the individuals who supplement our cleaning efforts in this area. Your support and service ensure that Turtle Creek remains a thriving, safe, and welcoming space for all to enjoy. Together, we’re making a lasting impact!
