[Green] DuPont Grant Change

[Michael Chisholm]

Yes, it came as a surprise to me as well. And yes Rebecca, a project like
that would be in the realm of possibilities! Some other projects funded
were simply planting native pollinators on a large lawn or farm area.

As I said in my previous email, I cannot set up a zoom meeting (my work
uses Teams and family uses Portal). If someone could setup a Zoom meeting
for 1 PM Sunday let's come with project ideas. They will have to be ones we
could reasonably budget out by Friday Sept 11th.

Regards,

Michael Chisholm
