WENA voted to support the coop in its pursuit of a zoning variance for our new location. Thanks, WENA! We also found out that Bread and Roses Collective has started a big ol’ garden in the yard of a house they purchased on Westcott St, the one that is dreamsicle- and pink-colored. Congrats, B&R!
According to this recent Post-Standard article, the county plans to plant A LOT of trees to assist in alleviating the problems we have with excess rainwater runoff… instead of building another water treatment plant. This is good news! But how can we help this program be a success? One way is to volunteer for the Communitree Steward Project of the Cornell Cooperative Extension. You’ll receive ten hours of training on tree care and then will give back by volunteering in teams to take care of city and county trees. Owner and Board member Georgette is applying for this program and invites you to join her!
