PRAIRIE RESCUE-MAY 6TH!

 

WE NEED YOU FOR A PRAIRIE RESCUE ON MAY 6TH!!  Concord Homes is doing a development near Terry Prairie and has recognized the great significance of the precious prairie forbs and grasses that need to be saved.  Some of the area will be preserved, but other parts will be saved..by us!..and others, too.  Concord will have a representative stake out the area that we can have before we get there.  Congratulations to Concord Homes for being on nature's side.

 

The Plan:  Meet at 167th Street parking lot at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 6.  Bring a long handled shovel for digging in the prairie and water to carry with you.  We will be digging up not just plugs, but as big a shovel full as we can get into a pot.  We want all that important soil and all the life it holds, too.  We'll have pots to put them in.  If you have a van or pick up, or can borrow one from a friend for the day, that can be used to help bring it all back, that would be great.

 

We will be on site and digging by 9:00.  We will return to Orland, by about noon.  There will be a cooler full of sandwiches and lemonade and water.  Then we'll plant what we have along 175th.  I'm hoping that we'll be done about 3:00.

 

RSVP if you can help by clicking on "Contact Us" from home page.  If you can only do morning, or afternoon, that's fine, too.

Or, call Pat at 708-220-9596 for more information.
