It's time to fight erosion and invasive species again! You can help by planting native plants and removing non-native species this coming Saturday from 9 am until noon! The Habitat Restoration Team also has a planning group that organize the work parties and some grant writing this quarter, if you want to get more involved. The planning group meets Fridays @ 2 pm in HT 309 (except this Friday since we have to place plants for the work party at 1 pm). Get leadership experience, help buy tools and native plants, learn grant-writing skills, work with donors, etc.!

The info for 3/6/10
Where: Meet at 9 am at Parking Lot 10, PCC Sylvania, or a little past 9 am at Sylvania Natural Area Park. Click here for a map of PCC Sylvania (http://www.pcc.edu/about/locations/sylvania/) or here for a map of Sylvania Natural Area Park (http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=1200)
When: 3/6/10 from 9 am until noon
What:  Planting some native plants (Camas, piggyback plants, Oregon grape, and ferns!), weeding plantings, removing invasive species, and taking care of our Portland park!
What else?  Wear clothes that can get dirty, wet, etc. Long sleeves and pants are a must as are sturdy shoes. Bring tools if you have them or borrow ours. We will have gloves, a lovely donation from Grand Central Baking, water, and tools to borrow!

Our next work parties will be 4/10/10 and 4/24/10 from 9 am to noon, meet at 9 am sharp at Parking Lot 10, Sylvania Campus. We'll be working in our propagation area and maybe a few other spots! We will also be having our Earth Day Birthday party on 4/22/10 from 11 am to 1 pm and showing the movie DIRT!
