Conservation in EpiCH http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mitc0186/epichconservation/ Welcome to the EpiCH Green Team blog. This is not a narrative blog and it is not intended to be read through. It is more like a 'wiki' with 3 functions: • provide a searchable pool of information • allow public input - opinions, ideas and knowledge • allow communication and work-sharing within the team Many entries have yet to be researched. Please contribute information as you are able. en Copyright 2013 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:34:19 -0600 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.31-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Earth Day cleanup - April 4th, 2013
The cleanup was postponed a week until April 4th due to chilly weather. The fourth was a mild and dry day, but the eleventh was snowy, so it was the best week.

Twenty-six people signed up. There were two from the Red Cross and six from the Nature Conservancy. Two hoppers full of garbage were collected at WBOB, not counting the bags left at the Light Rail tracks and at Gold Meadow park.

Several bags of trash were collected, primarily from the highway. In future years it would be more productive to have the event right after the spring snowmelt. Thanks to all who part:
