HERB GARDENS<br />
The calendar says it is winter but in Houston that means that spring is<br />
peeking around the corner of our gardens. The Landscape Committee is<br />
still looking for a chair or co-chairs to manage the herb garden at Desert<br />
Ivy Park. A volunteer has stepped forward to oversee the garden at Park<br />
Cypress. Carole Yard will still advise as needed. The beds at Park Cypress<br />
will be a combination of summer herbs and sensory plants to attract<br />
butterflies, birds and bees. This type of planting at Desert Ivy provided<br />
children and adults the opportunity to watch nature close up.<br />
Can’t wait until spring to plant the new crop of delicious herbs.<br />
PARK MONITORS NEEDED<br />
We are in need of park monitors for a few of our parks. It takes 15 minutes,<br />
once a month to check the park and report back any issues. Please contact<br />
Kristie Poldervaart at poldervaartk@gmail.com or 281-647-9483 if you are<br />
interested in volunteering.<br />

form with the constables. You can find the form at www.constablepct5.<br />

MOSQUITO CONTROL<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Trails</strong> II has a mosquito control contract with Excalibur Mosquito<br />
Control, but you can help, too. The best mosquito control program<br />
includes removal of breeding sites. Check your yards and correct these<br />
problem areas:<br />
1. Bowl planters, pots, water dishes and birdbaths which can hold<br />
dampness or water<br />
2. Stopped up gutters or standing water in gutters<br />
3. Remove moisture holding pine needles from roof valleys and piles<br />
around house.<br />
4. Don’t over water your yard. If water stands for more than 20 minutes<br />
after watering, you are over watering.<br />
5. Monitor standing water under decks and around pools or spas. Spray<br />
under deck with garden-variety insecticide regularly or install a drain.<br />
Plastic under decks holds water, so try to eliminate it.<br />
FIREWORKS PROHIBITED IN GREEN TRAILS PHASE II<br />
Fireworks are a violation of the deed restrictions for the Association of<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Trails</strong> Phase II. You may report violations of this deed restriction<br />
to Crest Management at 281-579-0761 or Heather.Esteban@crestmanagement.com.<br />
When reporting a violation of the deed restrictions<br />
you must provide a description of the violation and the address of the<br />
home where the violation exist.<br />
SECURITY TIPS<br />
If you see something suspicious, call the constable at 281-463-6666.<br />
Turning on exterior lights makes it easier for the constable or alert<br />
neighbors to see your home and to also see what is going on outside it.<br />
Park your cars in your driveway and lock them.<br />
Keep doors and windows locked (including garages) and alarms set. Trim<br />
shrubs so windows are visible. If you are going to be out of town, turn in a<br />
Vacation Watch Form. Use timers on lights. See our website for other tips.<br />
SHORT TERM RENTALS NOT ALLOWED<br />
Please be aware that short-term rentals of rooms or entire properties are<br />
a violation of deed restrictions.<br />
HAVE A DESIRE TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIG?<br />
The <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Trails</strong> HOA has an amazing opportunity for volunteers to be<br />
part of the newly developing I-10 and Fry Rd. beautification project.<br />
Come be a part of this great adventure to help keep our community a<br />
thriving, beautiful, top place to live in the Katy area. This volunteer team<br />
will help an already chosen landscape architect develop and maintain<br />
the landscaping framework for the I-10 and Fry Rd intersection and turn<br />
this area into a beautiful entry point into the surrounding community<br />
that leads into the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Trails</strong> subdivision. The landscape architect<br />
has completed the plans and work will begin this fall. Future projects<br />
are expected at the intersections of I-10 and <strong>Green</strong> House as well as I-10<br />
and Barker Cypress; future dates are TBD based on the success of the<br />
