Meet some of the Graeser Park Beehivers.

While Kent Brun mowed pathways and other Lions cut brush and pulled weeds, Niner started uncovering the buried limestone pathways.

If you can see a stone path in the park today, it is because a Lion uncovered it. She suspects that 1/4 – 1/3 of the original paths are still buried under years of composted dirt, leaves and weeds.

Now committed to excavation and conservation, this Physical Education teacher volunteers a lot of time at the ‘Graeser Park Gym’. Any chance she can get, she heads over for a workout.

She has removed over 100 tree stumps, which were causing damage to the limestone paths and historical structures. And, she did it without electricity. It’s hot and dirty work, but she has made a huge difference.

Now, she wants to move full-steam ahead. She is thrilled to see the community stepping up, and impressed at the new Graeser Park Angels and volunteers who show up for clean-up days.

Amazed at the amount of original 1939 Lilac Way structures that have been found, she looks forward to more workouts at this Lilac Way archaeological dig.
