Hello Everyone Just an Update on The Revival of the Roy Forrester butterfly garden in the Orono Crown Lands Trails.
I have received approval for my project submission!
I have mentioned earlier that I have 600 $ leftover from the Bench for Devin Lewis Robinson fundraiser and will be using the funds for this project. It will help to purchase things like additional educational information signs on pedestals & plants .
The fence surrounding the garden could be replaced as well. It's kind of at the bottom of the project list. I won't have enough funds for that as my focus is on the garden itself. Just had an afterthought about it but If anyone or business would be interested to replace it as a donation to the Crown lands & this revival project It would be very appreciated.
As to dates for the garden project I have planned many so any volunteers that would like to help with this project please feel free to come to one ,two or all any help is very much appreciated. Most will be in the evenings unless the date falls on the weekend then will be mid day or early morning. Times yet to be announced so save the dates please 😀
