May 2024 – It’s Beginning to Feel More Like Summer!

Another month and it will be summertime! Who’s a summer person? Personally, I’m a fall/winter gal, but there are certainly fun things that you can really only do (comfortably) during the summer.

Remember, rather than a sit-down meeting next month, we are planning for a weed day work party for June 26th from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. This work party will take place along the Bear Creek Greenway near the Dean Creek Road entrance (north end). Coffee, water, and snacks will be available.

For those that missed the last meeting, please see the JaJo CWMA April Meeting Minutes.

We’re so close to spring! Can you feel it, or are you still feeling the time change?

Looking ahead, check out the JaJo CWMA Meeting Agenda for April. We have a guest speaker, Joel Price from the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), coming to chat with us about alternative ways of fighting invasive plants. Also, please note that we are planning for a weed day work party instead of a traditional meeting for June 26th from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

Hello JaJo CWMA Team!

It’s that time of the year where members are actively preparing grant proposals for submittal in December, while others are continuing field work and restoration efforts, attending insightful workshops and conferences, and participating in other great environmental activities.

Last month’s meeting welcomed both new and returning members, with a full, informative agenda. Thanks to all who attended! Although I was unavailable for the October meeting, I’m looking forward to future CWMA meetings.
