Based on tomorrow’s forecast we will put off our clean-up for a week.  We’ll meet at the building at 9 am on Sat. May 9.  Thanks for being flexible.

Saturday, May 2nd at 9 am

Meet at the NHIA building at 9 am for a brief safety meeting before splitting up into groups with assigned sections of the road.  We will cover as much as we can based on number of volunteers.  Children will need supervision.  We will finish by 11 am.  Water, vests, garbage bags and some “stick poles” will be provided.  Bring your own gloves and hats! 

It was a great day for wildflowers, especially trillium and Atamasco lilies.  The group of 14 was led by Dr. Bob Peet and by surprise co-leader Milo Pyne.  Aside from flower viewing we were treated to sophisticated banter about Latin names and recent name changes of flowers.

Our next event is the Whitfield Rd cleanup on Saturday, May 2.

Led by Dr Bob Peet. Meet at Johnston Mill Preserve, Mt Sinai Rd entrance and parking lot (note change from Turkey Farm Rd entrance).  Please join us.

Have you seen the sign on the way up Whitfield Rd from Erwin Rd?  Now we have the notoriety and we have to do something about it.  We also have other events as listed here.
