[Green] Harmar Riverbank Project update and call for volunteers

[Dawn Hewitt]

Count me in, Rebecca, for the digging!

Re: the solar-charging bench. I would encourage you to show Geoff and Steve this website: http://sunchargesystems.com/uptown-charging-bench <http://sunchargesystems.com/uptown-charging-bench> as examples of what we mean. Make it clear that we have not chosen a model, and we haven’t decided yet whether we will buy one such as these, or attempt to make one ourselves.

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.

(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.
