<div>If anyone is interested there is a facilitation training webinar tomorrow evening at 7pm. Folks can register here: <a href="https://zoom.us/meeting/register/1b877e92cc62c88fd746f627e8486654" target="_blank">https://zoom.us/meeting/register/1b877e92cc62c88fd746f627e8486654</a> You
can do the training even if you aren't ready to commit to facilitating a dialogue. I do hope we can do one in Marietta. It would be great if some folks from GS participated in a dialogue even if they don't have time to do a training or plan it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would love to hear more about what happens with the native plant plan! Sounds wonderful!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our last bioblitz was mostly Columbus and Athens folks. Bonie had hoped to come, but was too busy with her beautiful mural for Belpre. Kurtis Decker planned to join us, but unfortunately had a collision with a deer on the way and had to go get his car
fixed! I keep hoping to get more Marietta area folks involved and maybe the community dialogue will help.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hey Rebecca,
<div>The Sierra Club's Our Wild America Campaign is launching a pilot program on leasing on public lands and Cheryl Johncox and I were wondering if you would be interested in working with us on something in Marietta.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The program starts with training some people to facilitate community dialogues (these are listening sessions where facilitators provide prompts and take notes and participants take turns speaking and then the notes are used to come up with next steps),
then holding some events and trainings including a community dialogue and an outdoor event.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The facilitation training will be a webinar. Attending the webinar does not mean you have to facilitate a training, but our hope is that we can get some local leaders from a few different communities to help with this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I talked with some of our Keep Wayne Wild volunteers at the bioblitz over the weekend and they are interested.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The outdoor event for Marietta could be combined with Keep Wayne Wild's next bioblitz, or we could come up with a different type of outdoor event that local people are interested in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would the Green Sanctuary be interested in hosting a community dialogue?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me know if you have questions! I have a follow up call tomorrow with Cheryl Johncox and Rachael Mandelbaum, the distributed organizer for Our Wild America who we're working with.</div>
