Regenerative Communities Summit
Native & Invasive Plants
Join us for our next public event to take place on September 23 at 7:30 pm via Zoom. We are delighted that Anne Smedley and Austin Roby, Johnny Appleseed Park District land stewards, will give us a presentation on native and invasive plant species in Bluffton. Anne and Austin both work at the Motter Park in Bluffton. They will share information on native plant species that enhance wildlife habitat, including information on seeding and planting. They will also discuss some of the most problematic invasive species found in our area, including techniques for removing these species. The meeting will be held using the “Zoom” virtual meeting format, each participant from home, using their own device. For a Zoom invitation to access the meeting call 419-358-0950.
Zoom Get Together August 18
At our July event those who gathered had a great conversation about initiatives for Bluffton Transition. We reviewed what we are currently doing and plan to continue doing (community garden, public events, repair clinic) and things others are doing which promote a resilient and sustainable community. Then we brainstormed other projects folks were interested in pursuing. We chose two projects to get started on right away. The first is a sharing library of books to be expanded to other things like tools, skills and time (you received an email from Chris Morrissey about this). The second is cleaning out invasive species and promoting native plants.
On Tuesday, August 18 at 7:30 pm we will hold a similar event (on Zoom) in which we discuss our current projects and decide what else people are interested in undertaking. All our welcome to attend. If interested in joining the conversation call Jon or Sally at 419-358-0950.
