We’re Working with the Avian Committee on Little Stream Project
Thanks in large part to our member Betty Volquardsen, the Avian Committee has won a small grant for native bird-friendly plants to put along the small stream that runs under Hwy 50 onto the front of Hillmoor (section 2 above) to attract bug and bird diversity on HIllmoor.
Along with the grant, the Friends have promised to help with the cost of preparing the land for the plantings.
Please help us pay for this excavation. We need to raise at least $500 to complete this work.
