Kempton Park Update & Workshop
|
If you’ve driven by Kempton Park (3102 Kempton) recently, you’re seen that things are changing. Much of the existing landscaping has been removed and the ground is being prepared for an exciting new design.
Our
friends at Back To Natives have designed a native landscape and along with them, the RCSD, RHA, and Eagle Scout candidate Owen Pearce are revitalizing the park. Funding for this redesign project is coming from the RHA, RCSD, and the funds raised by Owen as part of his Eagle Project.
On Saturday May 7th, Back To Natives is putting on a free native plant workshop to show us the native plant layout and answer any questions we may have about the design and most importantly, about native plants. This hands on Workshop is for residents of Rossmoor and the surrounding area. Get the flyer for workshop details.

Rossmoor resident Bernie Beskind coordinates the weekly Rossmoor Walk & Talk meeting at
Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30. That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.
The program is simple enough, whoever attends forms groups of 2-4 people and walk around Rush Park and they talk. How long they walk, how fast they walk, and what they talk about is up to them. If you need a topic to talk about, Bernie will be happy to help you
out. It's a real Win-Win Bernie's idea creates an informal way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise at the same time. It could save or at least
extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really great people. And that is a huge win-win. Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages. The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park. If you have questions, please email Bernie (BernieB_90720@yahoo.com), or come see him on Tuesdays at 10:30 at Rush Park. Bernie will be the energetic guy with glasses, short hair, long in years and walking slowly. |

Be Aware - Coyotes Are Here
|
|
|
|
We are continuing to hear about coyote sightings, especially in the north end of Rossmoor. Many of these sightings have been during the mid-day. Please be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight).
There have been fewer sightings over the past week, which is nice, but
could be the quiet before the storm. Fish and Game officials warn that this quiet time is likely due to the spring breeding cycle.
The RCSD, RHA, and Supervisor Steel along with state and county agencies are developing a Wildlife Watch plan for Rossmoor. Details will be available in the next few weeks and we will be seeking your participation in creating a safe and humane solution to the challenge we face. Be on the look out for
more information here and on the RHA and RCSD websites.
Additionally, report any sightings to the Rossmoor Community Service District at 562.430.3707 or rcsd@rossmoor-csd.org with your name, phone number, time, date and location of the sighting, along with a brief description of what you
saw happening.
The Rossmoor Homeowners Association
(RHA) is a membership funded non-profit organization and as such relies primarily on member dues and fund-raising to cover its annual costs.
What costs?
Great question, glad you asked. The Rossmoor Homeowners Association:
