• Volunteers will be using dibble bars to place saplings and attaching a support tube to each

Committee Meeting | Library Case

Note: Was originally scheduled for Jan but postponed.

Meet at the Laurel Public Library
10:00am - 11:00am | Setup the Case
11:00am -12:00pm | Plan for next setup upstairs in The Delaware Room

Topics- World Water Day, Earth Day and National Day of Forests along with the Nature Center's pileated woodpecker taxidermy. Will is helping with National Day of Forests.

It's not going to take many people to remove the existing exhibit and to set up the new one.  Kathy and Marc are going to help me set up the new exhibit, and Cherie or Snickie will be there to collect the existing items since many belong to Cherie.  They will help with the new exhibit if needed.

The next quarter will cover May through July, and Margaret will head that up.  We will meet in March to discuss the set up for summer.
