[Green] Harmar Riverbank Project update and call for volunteers

[Rebecca Phillips]

Hello, all,

I have been in contact with Geoff Schenkel, Fourth Ward council, and he thinks that someplace downtown (on the east side) would be a better site for our bench/charging station. Will follow up with Steve Wetz about siting, but it would be good to have someone more familiar with the technology who can also talk to him sometime in the near future.

Now--we will be needing volunteers for a plant rescue, exact date TBD and dependent on weather, but I am hoping for this weekend if everything works out. (Will be meeting with Mark Swaney, the neighbor who has maintained the site, to see what plants he remembers that may be dormant right now.) We will be digging and potting plants; we also need volunteers to overwinter them. I can take some but already have several flats of last year's winter-sown seedlings at my place. I will do a count of pots rescued from the recycling center currently in our potting area, and if anyone will be there this week, we can probably use more. I will donate potting soil, but please bring your own preferred digging implements.

Please let me know if you have availability this weekend, and I will keep everyone updated.

Rebecca
