New Cleanup INITIATIVES
A new collaboration with Friends of the Mississippi River for Invasive Plant Removal and River Restoration !
The Sheridan Neighborhood Organization started a long term partnership to help maintain the river banks along the Mississippi at Sheridan Memorial Park that began in 2022. We will be learning about invasive species, how to identify them, how to remove them effectively and planting native species to revitalize the landscape. We will be working with FMR to create a long term plan for the project. We will provide gloves, water and tools. The river is one of Sheridan’s greatest assets and something that we as a community can work together to preserve.
Check out our calendar to find out when the next event is coming up and don’t forget to sign up!
The Memorial to Survivors of Sexual Violence can be visited at Boom Island Park. It has a talking circle space and beautiful murals to break the silence on sexual violence.
Memorial to Survivors of Sexual Violence
Sheridan Neighborhood Organization is honored to have contributed funds towards the first public memorial honoring survivors of sexual violence in the country, located in Boom Island Park.
We are surrounded by survivors of sexual violence. This memorial will honor the courage and strength of survivors, and it will bring awareness to the prevalence of sexual violence. It will let survivors know that our community believes them, supports them, and stands with them in solidarity.
