I can’t believe this is our last week together!

Regular scheduled meetings this week on Monday and Tuesday at the normal Zoom link.

Field Trips: This year we explored only 4 of over a dozen parks in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. I hope you enjoyed discovering these places: rock shelters at Island Ford, mill ruins at Sope Creek, old homesteads at Hyde Farm, and water wheels at Vickery Creek. This summer I encourage you to get out there and explore more of these incredible places!

Water Wednesday: We’ll pick sugar snap peas here at Tritt at 1:30pm and then head over to Crossroads to check on our broccoli!

Canoeing: As a thank you for participating in Green Paws all year, I’d like to offer each student a canoe trip! You can sign up here!

Summer Plans:

  1. Water Wednesday: Each Wednesday this June / July I’ll be hosting “Water Wednesday” here at Tritt. The time is TBD, but I’m looking at 11:30ish.

  2. Harvesting at Crossroads Community Garden: I’ll reach out to you all when the sugar snap peas and broccoli are ready to pick. Late May / Early June.

  3. Cobbler: When the blueberries and blackberries are ripe then we’ll all meet up to pick them and schedule a Zoom call to make cobbler together. Probably late Mid/Late-June.
