The following information/feedback was received by the FOS Executive Committee earlier today:
“The Shelby Park damage is being included in the damage assessment being provided to FEMA and whatever insurance recovery funds that will be available.
We are getting 10 volunteers from AmeriCorps who are going to be given the assignment to start clean up on the greenway, but that is going to be difficult as the ground may still be saturated.
Volunteers to help (with any cleanup days organized and approved by Metro Parks) would be greatly appreciated, and like with the initial volunteers, we would prefer them to be registered with Hands on Nashville.
We are going to be using equipment, today (Thursday, May 13th), to scrape the mud and silt off the greenway, and could use assistance at the bridges that are still there in moving and piling trash and debri (cleanup date to be confirmed and provided later).
If the volunteeers go to the ball fields (to assist with the cleanup day being organized by the Old Timers Baseball Organization on Saturday, May 15th at 10:00 a.m. — see post below), we request that the wood products be separated from the other trash you collect. Our staff will pick up everything.”
