We've made it through most of Winter, and Spring is just around the bend. Come for one part or stay for the whole thing. We have made it through most of a beautiful and mild winter. Spring is just around the corner.
10:00 a.m.
The agenda starts with a “burn training”, a review of the methods, reasons for, and safety considerations for conducting a controlled, prescribed burn of the natural areas at Waters school and the Riverbank. This will be our 15th burn season. It is a spectacle to see, and exhausting and inspirational event to be part of, and a learning experience for all involved (each and every time). Become a part of the burn crew. In the weeks following the burn you will appreciate the re-birth of the native landscape, robust and revitalized. This presentation takes about 45 minutes and includes film footage of previous burns.
11:00 a.m.
Review, comments and amendments of the RN Management Plan. This document is part of the Management agreement and lease agreement that we hold with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District through NeighborSpace. This document (longform) also chronicles our 20+ years of restoration and care for the riverbank. You can check out the 2015 Management Plan at Riverbank Neighbors.org.
12:00 p.m.
Pot luck lunch. Possible grill activity on the patio. Bring your own re-usable utensils and settings and you get a gold star!
12:30 - 2:00 p.m.
Seed Share and Garden Planning Event
Mark your calendars for this upcoming community-building event at Waters! There will be a Seed Share (bring seeds to share if you have them), garden book and magazine swap, a running slideshow on the history of Waters Garden, urban gardening Q&A, and other surprises. Join us even if you are not a gardener (yet)!
