Take a self guided tour of Glenmont Forest's new rain gardens!
Congratulations Sandra Perez-Ramos and Stuart Diekmeyer! The community selected the Gathering Tree artist team of Sandra Perez-Ramos and Stuart Diekmeyer as the finalist for the Park Public Art project.
GFNCA will be submitting this project to the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) for a grant to bring this beautiful and welcoming artwork to our park. Stay tuned in the Fall to learn if we have been awarded the grant.
We are still working on an entrance from Grandview, the Community Gardens and other enhancements.
THANK YOU to all who participated and let us know what other ideas you have for this park!

Join the Glenmont Forest Clean-Up Brigade! We're asking brigadiers to commit just to picking up one bag of trash per month, on one of four dates of your choosing. Monthly reminders will be sent out. Email glenmontforestnca@gmail.com with questions. Sign up here.
A new USPS mailbox has been installed at the NE corner of Livingston and Newton. Many thanks to the neighbor who proposed this addition! This mailbox has a new, secure design that prevents thieves from removing items from the box. As a consequence of this security feature, only letters, not packages, can be deposited in this mailbox, which is oriented so that pedestrians can easily deposit mail.
Pickup time is 3:00 PM Monday - Saturday.
For more information on the replacement of gas lines in our neighborhood, view a presentation from Washington Gas.
