Miller Creek Renewal
This short work party will allow you to help weed the native trees and shrubs we planted on Miller Creek last fall but still leave most of your Saturday open!  We need to pull morning glory (bindweed) off our trees, dig up the pesky blackberries that are coming back, and spread a little more mulch.  With many hands, the work will go fast.  RSVP by 10 a.m. Friday, July 18.
