09/01/2012
A huge thank you goes out to all our first-year Day of Service 2012 volunteers who helped us remove mountains of Buckthorn, English Ivy, and trash from the arboretum today!
The rain garden at Eastwood Elementary was planted last night.
Rain garden plantings to take place next weekend. Date and time TBD.
8 people came out today in the rain to saw down buckthorn! How gratifying.
