Joan Qazi 5/12/2019 9:06 AMHappy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers or have mothers! Perhaps it's a good day to complete another challenge? I am going to hike a local trail and try to get that herb garden planted :) -
Joan Qazi 5/09/2019 10:07 PMOne of my challenges today was to learn more about our Waste Management Landfill. It was really interesting to find out that they won a Wildlife Habitat Council certification because they use natural controls for invasive species, have installed kestrel falcon nest boxes, and share 80 acres of shrub-steppe habitat as an outdoor learning lab for high school students. Businesses, students, and organizations can take tours by calling 509-884-2802. Has anyone on our team ever taken a tour there?-
Jeanne Poirier 5/10/2019 9:38 PMHaven't done a tour there, but also visited the site and was impressed by the kid friendly learnings too. It would be good to go!
