Earth Day Creek Cleanup

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 02:11:00 GMT

In celebration of Earth Day, the Whitland Area Neighborhood Association (WANA) is hosting one of its two annual creek clean ups on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Join your neighbors for coffee, donuts, water and our efforts to care for own beautiful natural resource, the Kingfisher Branch Creek along Rolland Road.

Our goal is to collect trash and debris in and around the creek along Rolland Road (Kingfisher Branch) as well as increase erosion control around the Carden Bridge. We will not be trimming trees or bushes. Bring boots/waders/ gloves. Children older than age 10 are welcome if accompanied by their parent(s). We need some strong adults to help place the material for erosion control. Trash bags will be provided.

In case of inclement weather, WANA will send an email to the WANA Google Group the morning of the event and reschedule for the following Saturday.

We look forward to seeing you next Saturday at the Carden Bridge!

Creek Clean Up

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 17:09:00 GMT

The Whitland Area Neighborhood Association is hosting a creek clean up for Kingfisher Branch this coming Saturday, April 23rd starting at 9:00 am. The greenery (privet, honeysuckle, and various trees, etc.) is in pretty good shape with limited trimming and removing needed (maybe some around the Rolland and Leonard intersection), however, the creek in general has a lot of trash and plant debris that needs to be cleaned up. This shouldn t take too long and we expect the Creek Clean Up to probably be over by 11:00 at the latest depending upon neighbor participation. Come out, grab a trash bag and clean up for an hour or two, and return home for nice spring day. We ll meet at the Carden bridge at 9:00 and will have trash bags for all that join (gloves are recommended). In the event of extreme weather or dangerous conditions around the creek (extremely high water) we will alert in advance and reschedule this event.

Annual Meeting - 2022

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 15:01:00 GMT

This year s WANA Annual Meeting will be held via Zoom on Sunday, January 16th at 3:00 pm (we are again being cautious with a virtual meeting due to the pandemic). A zoom invite will be sent out on Saturday the 15th and then again on Sunday the 16th via our Google Groups/listserv. If you cannot attend a Power Point presentation will be available upon request to any and all WANA residents

Holiday Celebration/Party

Sat, 04 Dec 2021 02:19:00 GMT

Where : Right here at the Carden Bridge

When : Sunday, December 12th at 3:30 pm

What : A family gathering to enjoy holiday cheer together over some warm winter beverages with fire pits and S mores.

Mark your calendars for a week from this Sunday, December 12th at 3:30 pm for this year s WANA Holiday Party. Due to the pandemic and possible risks we have decided to have an outdoor gathering at Mary Catherine Strobel Park at the end of Carden at the bridge at 3:30 on the 12th. Since outside we hope to observe some reasonable social distancing and fresh air should help mitigate risks. WANA will provide a couple of fire pits blazing, all of the makings for S mores, and we will have a variety of warm/hot drinks including hot chocolate, hot cider, and an adult hot toddy for those over 21 that choose an adult beverage. This is a full family event so bring the kids, get a S more or two, and enjoy a warm drink while celebrating the season with other WANA folks. Hopefully the weather will comply, the Titans will be finished with a victory, and in the event of dangerous weather we will address on the 11th or 12th. WANA assumes it will be a chilly day so dress accordingly.

Neighborhood Yard Sale and Dumpster Day

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 12:47:00 GMT

On Saturday, September 25th WANA (the Whitland Area Neighborhood Association) will sponsor a neighborhood yard sale. Several sales will be hosted within our neighborhood including sales on Carden Avenue, Leonard Avenue, Craighead Avenue, and Whitland Avenue. Festive helium balloons will be indicators in front of each sale and there will be maps available at each site showing the location of all of the sales. Please observe safety protocols for Covid and lets hope for a beautiful Saturday. Additionally, this coming Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th will be our annual dumpster day. Two 40 yard dumpsters will show up early to mid afternoon on Friday the 24th, they will be located on Whitland Avenue in front of 3750 Whitland (near Carden intersection) and in front of 3701 Whitland Avenue (near Craighead intersection), and they will be taken away mid afternoon on Saturday (Waste Management is a bit imprecise on their arrival and take away times). These dumpster surprisingly typically fill up very fast so make definitive plans to arrive with waste Friday afternoon or as early as possible on Saturday morning. Once full we will close the dumpsters and hopefully Waste Management will come and go at the appropriate times. No chemicals, paints, or electric appliances are allowed in the dumpsters. Hope all are remaining safe during our extended pandemic limitations. Come on back normal life soon please !!

Creek Clean Up

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:38:00 GMT

Meet at the Carden bridge on Rolland. Bring loppers, trimmers, and hand saws if you can. We will pick up trash, clear debris, and cut back the Privet and other invasive plants along the creek. Cold bottled water will be available and please bring a mask, but, we will practice social distancing as cautiously as possible and work singularly to avoid issue. This is probably not an event for children and our alternate date in the event of heavy rain or high water is the following Saturday the 24th at the same time. If bad weather or high water a cancellation notice will go out over the Google Groups.

The 4th of July 2020 will be remembered for many years as the year we couldn't have a party due to the Caronaviris. However, a few residents went all the way with decorations and a family events on their front yards. If we had awards I think the top home would be the winner.. Photos from Cyril Stewart.

Friday Fun For WANA Friends

Sat, 06 Jun 2020 21:06:00 GMT

Next Friday on June 12th, WANA has arranged for two food trucks to come to the top of Carden Ave. at Whitland Ave from 4:30 to 7:30.

Califarmia fresh California cuisine using local ingredients will provide the main food. Califarmia uses a web based link for its orders and payments (credit cards only) that can be ordered a few days in advance or during its time at Carden on Friday evening.

Bradley’s Creamery will provide ice cream for dessert. Bradley’s also has a link that will be provided and they will accept walk up orders and cash/credit cards.

WANA has arranged this event for your convenience. Hopefully it will be fun and yummy, and we continue to encourage social distancing. This event is a pickup, maybe mingle a little, and take home your dinner/dessert situation. We look forward to this fun option next Friday.

Richland Creek Cleanup in April-May 2020

Sat, 02 May 2020 21:49:00 GMT

These photos were all taken in March and April 2020. Keep Calm was a postcard made in Britain to during the First World War. It would be just as importtant today for the caronusviris disaster. The next four photos start with the flooding at Easter and show the creek on Carden Ave. following down to the bridge and high water on Rolland Rd. The final photos were all taken on May 2nd starting at MBA, then the corner at Rolland Road with the ugly dead tree. A great job of cleanup followed a crew of neighbors did a grate job. A happy family is having fun fishing at the new steps.which makes a grand ending. They all got out of the water quickly when they discovered the snake in the rocks.The last photo shows the dry bed of the creek at Leonard.

Creek Cleanup Saturday April 25th

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 16:29:00 GMT

This coming Saturday we are going to have an informal creek clean up starting at 10:00 AM. In order to observe social distancing we will not be providing any food or drink and we will split up with trash bags for the majority of the clean up. There may be a little cutting of brush around the Leonard/Rolland intersection. I suspect if several show up to assist we can probably finish way prior to noon.

Check out the upcoming Dog Show on our Facebook.com/ whitlandnashville/

Stay safe and I hope to see some of you this coming Saturday morning at 10:00 am at the Carden bridge.
