March 2004


We are in the process of working on the website -- please be patient with us!   


WORK PARTIES: We are continuing to chip away at the invasive ivy at 
Strawberry Creek Lodge, and have made excellent progress so far! At the 
last party, we noticed that a large chunk of the culvert at Strawberry 
Creek Lodge has collapsed; the city public works department is sending 
out a crew to investigate. Parties go from 9:30 am to about noon. Come 
for all or some of the time. Bring work gloves and tools if you have 
them, or bring extras to share or donate. Upcoming dates are at 
Strawberry Creek Lodge, 1320 Addison St.  Dates TBA. For more 
information, contact Jennifer at jennifermaryphd@hotmail.com or 
Carole at caroleschem@hotmail.com.
