Annual Spring Cleanup Day
The annual community-wide Spring Cleanup Day is Saturday, April 29th from 9 – 11 am. Each year a group of Carriage Hills residents walks the open space area around Scott Ponds to pick up trash. This year I’m planning to join their project and I’m wondering if anyone would like to volunteer along with me. If we have several new volunteers we could include parts of Carriage Drive and Fish Creek Road as well as the area around the ponds. At this point I’m only looking for those who are tentatively interested. It’s still 2 weeks away and I know plans can change at this busy time of year. Please send a message to carriagehillspoa@gmail.com. I will send out details when we get closer to the date. Thanks in advance for your interest in this project! Information about Spring Cleanup Day can be found here.

Mountain Lion Sightings
Several residents have sighted a mountain lion in Carriage Hills in the past few weeks. It may be the same one since mountain lions have a large range. It’s wise to keep close watch on children and pets outside your home. If you have a vacation rental be sure to inform your guests as well. Here is a Mountain Lion picture taken by a Carriage Hills resident’s critter camera in April.
