uoy Beer Co. volunteers and Astoria Parks and Recreation Department staff gathered at Shively Park on Wednesday to spruce up
the area. They removed brush, trash and other debris, and pulled invasive ivy. Buoy Beer’s Melissa Lahti said the company has been
trying to give back to the community through volunteer events once a month, and the public is always welcome to join in the effort.
