Conservation
The Conservation Committee meets from 6 – 7 pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month. The next meeting is March 23 at Lake Harriet United Methodist Church, 4901 Chowen Av S, Minneapolis.
The April 27 and May 25 meetings will be at the usual site, the Community Room at the Uptown Lunds.
The agenda for the Feb. 23 meeting included:
Update on Roberts Bird Sanctuary (located on the north side of Lake Harriet) – Our chapter’s long-term plan to enhance the sanctuary took another step forward at a recent meeting with the MPRB to discuss adopting the site. Now we need to talk about the details of the agreement;
Celebrating Earth Day (April 22) – suggestions on what to do;
Proposals to have a greeter at chapter events (including monthly meetings at Mayflower Church) and to have Board members and committee chairs wear name tags and introduce themselves at events;
Developing a budget for our 2010 projects, including buying tools for pulls and paying for materials to build Chimney Swift towers;
Developing a process to handle sign-on letters;
Other items of interest to members.
