Martha Creek Tree Planting Party
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
Martha Creek, on Highway 23 North (25 mins from Revelstoke)
We will be planting willows, cedar, hemlock, and cottonwood. Lunch will be provided for free to our volunteers, so please RSVP (see below). This is a kid friendly event, and we hope to see you all out there. This is a rain or shine event, work clothes and swimming trunks too!
Meet at the Gazebo at Grizzly Plaza to share rides. The Revelstoke Carshare Cooperative will bring along the truck so if you want to throw your bikes in you can ride one way, or both.

Did you receive a piece of paper from NCES at the Home, Garden & Leisure Show?
There are seeds inside the paper –either arugula or green leaf lettuce seeds.
All you need to do is plant the paper in soil in either a pot or in the ground. You may choose to rip up the paper to spread the seeds out. Add water and love and before you know it they’ll be sprouting.
Leave it a little longer and you’ll have yummy lettuce
or arugula (a spicy lettuce) right in your own back yard. Enjoy as a salad or in sandwiches.
What’s more sustainable than that?
