Orinda Garden Club hosted a Community Awareness/A Walk-Around Lake Cascade Saturday, April 21 to build support for its Lake Cascade beautification project. Orinda Garden Club began the beautification project in the 1940s when it planted the Cork Oak trees and in the 1960s, the Club initiated another project to regenerate native shrubs around the shoreline. They began the new project in 2010 and finished clearing the north side of Lake Cascade in 2011 where the Cork Oak trees were restored, weeds and invasive plants removed. The committee plans on finishing the two remaining segments around the lake in 2012/2013, with an estimated cost of $13,000 to complete the work. The Club is certain that this project will provide a better experience of Lake Cascade and its wooded landscape for the community to enjoy.
Friends of the Orinda Garden Club walk to raise financial support for the beautification of Lake Cascade.
