Summertime… And the Living’s Easy (Or Not)!

Greetings JaJo CWMA Team!

Whew, it is clearly summer now, isn’t it? I hope you’re all doing well out in the field in this heat and/or enjoying some time on the river. The Rogue Aquatic Invasives Network (RAIN) is ramping up with plenty of opportunities to join us on the river pulling aquatic weeds. Thank you to those that were able to join us for the CWMA float last month! More information will be included below on RAIN floats in July, August, September, and October.

Our next meeting isn’t scheduled until Wednesday, August 27th, but it will be here before we know it. A meeting agenda and Zoom information will be sent out as we get closer.

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.
