ADENA BROOK COMMUNITY EARTH DAY CLEAN UP – SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2009, 9 – 11 AM
This month we will meet on the THIRD Saturday, not the second. April is one of our biggest clean ups of the year and some of the most important work we will do this season. Our focus: pull garlic mustard, cut honeysuckle, and plant trees. We need every hand, even if you only have a half hour to give. If you want to plant trees, bring a shovel. Supplies will be located at Overbrook and High, Overbrook and Indianola, Overbrook and Cooke Road, Overbrook and Yaronia. Volunteers from Malcolm Pirnie will join us.

Our clean up is in collaboration with Green Columbus’ annual event called “Picture This.” This is the third annual event organized by Green Columbus. According to Tad Dritz, Director of Green Columbus, the name was selected “to encourage central Ohioans to picture how much can be accomplished in one day of volunteer projects across the Columbus metro area.” The planned event is actually a two day affair with April 18 for volunteer worksites and April 19 for a celebration at Goodale Park, in the Short North.

FREE NATIVE TREES
Another reason to come to the Earth Day clean up: we have a selection of native trees to give to Adena Brook neighbors and volunteers on April 18. In response to the damage of the two big wind storms–we lost many trees. Help us sustain our woodland neighborhood by planting a native tree! Trees will be located at High and Overbrook.
