What is the RB Urban Farm & Wetlands Project?
 

The Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands Project is a community led and community bred effort to establish an Urban Farm in the heart of the Rainier Beach Community at the former Atlantic City Nursery site located at 5513 South Cloverdale Street in Southeast Seattle.  The Atlantic City Nursery is a former nursery ran by the City of Seattle's Parks & Recreation Department.   The closing and relocation of the Park's operations, has created an opportunity for the neighborhood to help shape the future use of this park property.

 

The Friends of Atlantic City Nursery formed out of community interest to create a local source for fresh produce, community gardening, economic development and training opportunities for area residents and youth.  The RB Urban Farm & Wetlands Project will serve as an innovative effort to build community pride and preservation of the area wetlands and the environment.

 

"Healthy food grown right here in Rainier Beach is now a real possiblity -- and you can be a part of making it happen."   Come out on Thursday, March 18th to learn more about the current efforts underway, ask questions and provide your input. Invite your neighbors and friends and be a part of the growth that you want to see!

YOUTH SUMMIT PLANNING: March 8th @ Youngstown!!

Youth Summit Planning Meeting: March 8

Just a reminder that the next youth summit meeting is on Monday, March 8th from 3:30-5:30 at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center.

Again any adults who plan to attend this meeting please bring some youth because they are the ones who will be making all of the decisions for this upcoming summit. We also encourage youth who are attending to bring a friend or two to make this process worthwhile.

This time at the meeting we are splitting into different committees so you can choose from planning the workshops to planning the food and entertainment or even both! For more information download the flyer attached to this message (Youth Summit Planning Meeting flyer). If you have any questions please email estevan@youthmediaseattle.org. Hoping to see you there!
