LIKE PULLING WEEDS?
WE COULD USE YOUR HELP!
Kate Peresie is looking for volunteers to help pull weeds along the creek to the left of the driveway bridge at Hemlock Trails on
Monday, April 22, from 5-7 pm
. There is a nice population of crinkle root wildflower there which is the required host plant for the Virginia white butterfly. The crinkle root is being crowded out by the invasives, garlic mustard and dame's rocket. If you are willing to assist with this project, please contact Kate Peresie, kperesie@gmail.com or the church office.

SPRING WILDFLOWER AND HISTORY WALKS
A wildflower walk is scheduled for tonight at 6 pm and a history walk is scheduled for Saturday, April 20 at 10 am. A complete schedule is located on the bulletin board outside Blymyer Hall and on the wall outside the church office. You may also contact Kate Peresie by email at kperesie@gmail.com.
