GINLC Newsletter: Stewardship Corner

We had a great turnout at our May cleanup, despite it being one of the first really pretty Saturday mornings of this spring. We managed to get several sites cleaned up by running two crews. We were also aided by the efforts of the Hasserodts, who continued to work after everybody else went home, cleaning up one of the Conservancy's properties in their neighborhood. Thanks to everybody who participated, and to Sav-On Drug Store, who gave us a discount on biodegradable trash bags.

In response to interest expressed in the past, we held a property tour on Sunday, October 18th for members and others who might be interested in membership in the Conservancy. The tour covered major Conservancy properties, with a discussion of their histories, ecological features, and the benefits of conservation efforts. We plan to make this an annual event, so let us know at info@ginlc.org, call me at 734-624-4113, or email me at: plselby@gmail.com, if you would like to be included in the tour or other stewardship events.

Please also check our website for announcements about work parties. We count on our members to support these stewardship efforts.
