Conservation Corner – October 2023

ReLeaf Michigan is looking for volunteers to help local communities to plant trees. If you are interested in lending a hand please send them an email at volunteer@releaafmichigan.org and check out their website at http://www.releafminchigan.org

I am always looking for volunteers to help with the next Clinton River ‘Adopt a Stream” river monitoring. The next event will be October 7th 2023. Contact me (247.778.5253 or finpharm@gmail.com). You can contact The Clinton River Watershed Counsel directly at www.crwc.org if you are interested in learning more.

Club Manager Chris Myers

We have a new Club Manager (Chris Myers) …..I will be contacting him shortly about recycling and cutting down on club use of non-recyclable materials (primarily Styrofoam and single use plastics). Club member Rick Bardecki has done some awesome work researching environmentally friendly utensils, carry out clamshells, straws etc. We hope to get started using them soon. If you have any ideas on what your club can do to start a recycling program please send them my way.

If you have any conservation or habitat improvement ideas or would like to participate in OCSC’s conservation efforts please contact me at finpharm@gmail.com

Yours in Conservation
