Hello, all,</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Updates on our CITF grant project:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<ul>
<li><span>The Lock One Park (where our solar charging bench is likely to be located) subcommittees have started meeting; Dave Ballantyne and I were part of a meeting on Tuesday, which the mayor attended. Spencer Kimball of Pickering hopes to have a couple of
preliminary designs for people to review in the not-too-distant future. (Whether the city will have money to carry out the plans is another question.)</span></li><li><span><br>
</span></li><li><span>The newly-installed pollinator plantings seem to be doing well. The two arrowwood viburnums are about to be in full bloom and worth a look. However, the site has needed watering because of the hot, dry weather. Rain is possible in the forecast this
week, but this is Ohio, and one never knows. I have been going over every couple of days and gave
<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);display:inline">everything a good soaking this morning </span>but would welcome assistance. We have a hose (stored at the home of wonderful Fort Street neighbors) and water, so if</span> you are able
to help, I can show you where the hose is stashed and how to access the water.</li><li><br>
</li><li><span>The Johnson grass and other undesirables are returning, so a weeding party would be a useful thing. Next Saturday, May 29, is the city cleanup day and perhaps a good time to pull up some less-than-lovely plants.</span></li><li><span><br>
</span></li><li>The site is experiencing some erosion because of the exposed soil from the plants we removed. I added several bags of mulch a few days ago, but if anyone has a truck and some available time, Greenleaf's compost farm has free mulch. There is also a largish
pile of it under the Washington Street bridge.</li></ul>
<div>As our plants mature, they will start to fill in the space and choke out the nasties. Unfortunately, the first year or two of a new habitat requires human oversight. Thanks, everyone, for all you have done.</div>
