Kingfield CommuniTree Project; a Virtual Walk in the Park!

April 11, 2020 By Sarah

Hello! We are the Kingfield CommuniTree Forest at MLK Park!

This year is the 50^th anniversary of Earth Day! We trees were hoping for merriment and celebrations, with children playing and adults picnicking under our branches. We were looking forward to sharing our beautiful park with you, but instead it is very quiet here due to all you humans being in quarantine. We miss you!

Take a virtual walk in the park and visit us at https://bit.ly/KingfieldCommuniTree and then send a quick note to me, or one of my fellow trees, and we will write you back!

Dear Kingfield, how do we love you? Let us count the ways!—

It’s Give to Max Day Thursday November 14, so we Ask that You Consider Donating to KFNA, Your Most Local Nonprofit!

There are so many things to love about Kingfield…a great park, a hopping weekly market, delicious homegrown food cooked up by local restaurant owners, plus (and here is where KFNA comes in!) a jumble of engaging and creative events, meetings, and activities designed to keep you informed and get you engaged with your community.

And this “community” isn’t something that just happens, it is something that Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA), your local nonprofit, works really hard to create. Why? Because we believe that now, more than ever, taking time to grow connections and foster community can make a foundational change to not only our neighborhood but also in our city and country. Also, by building a welcoming, inclusive, open and caring community we will have a positive impact on our current and future neighbors.

Learn more about what KFNA does and consider making a donation to your local nonprofit organization here. Thank you!
