SNOW REMOVAL - Please keep your sidewalks clear of snow. This is very important for the school kids who need to walk quite a distance to get to their bus stops every Morning.
WORK IN THE PARK
The Park District is using the same vendor BPOA did to clear the invasive woody species out of the east most drain pond by the park on Midlane Dr. This includes cutting down the same types of invasive trees that were removed from the Association drain ponds last year.
This work should begin this week. Our association is not responsible for the maintenance of the pond closest to the Park (across from the tennis courts).
We have been communicating with the Park District, and we are working together to coordinate our maintenance efforts.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let the Board know. Or you can contact the Park District Director, Ann Viger.
Thank You, and have a Happy and Safe 2012!

WE NEED HOMEOWNER HELP
How can you help? We need your help in making our drain pond restoration possible:
Please refrain from walking in or on the non-path wetlands areas, and do not allow children or animals to play in this area.
Don’t dump on (or in) your drain pond wetland. A wetland is not a compost pile for your grass clippings, a depository for manure or pet droppings, or a convenient place to leave junk, debris, or unused chemicals. Treat your wetland as you would your own garden and don’t suffocate it with a pile of grass clippings. Heaps of grass clippings in your wetland will form an oxygen-starved mass that will not decay, but will cause a foul smell and will upset the balance within the wetland ecosystem. Animal waste in or near a wetland will reduce its water quality, as will unused chemicals.
If you see someone dumping, or not picking up after their animals, kindly ask them to pick up after themselves. Notify the Board of Directors if someone continues to dump in the wetlands. “Only you can prevent harmful dumping in our ponds!” S. Bear
Community Clean-up Day is April 23rd. Please get out and help pick up trash and recyclables and help beautify our neighborhood. We need your help to pick-up trash around the two drain ponds and at the Park on Midlane Drive. Get out and help clean up on 4/23 @ 8:30 AM. Visit the Park District website for more details crystallakeparks.org.
Do not plant or use herbicides in (or on) the common area drain ponds. The BPOA Board will be issuing planting guidelines, based on expert recommendations later this year detailing which native plants we want to introduce to the ponds. Until then, please do not plant any unauthorized species in (or on) the common area drain ponds.
Volunteer on the Wetlands Committee or the Board of Directors. We need your help to plan out the next 10 years of maintenance for the drain ponds. Please come and be a part of this exciting time for our neighborhood. Contact Paul McPherson or any member of the Board if you are interested.
Please be patient and enjoy the slow transformation. The board is committed to making the area beautiful and functional for generations to come.
If you have additional questions, or would like more details on the drain pond restoration, please contact the Wetlands Committee or a member of our Board.
