Knowing that we planted these nitrogen-fixing natives in place of the invasive vines we removed brings satisfaction. Scan back to our April blog post to see these same trees in bloom and earth stewards at work at the DC Stake Center. Special thanks to those who on their own initiative have been weeding the area. I pulled a few weeds while there but it looks very good which certainly doesn't occur without someone's effort. (Kent Mikkelsen and others, thank you!) Now that the Smiths are in Seneca Stake we’re less often at the DC Stake Center and especially appreciate those who check in periodically to care for the garden. http://eartheast.org/news/2022/4/10/hpav6chz9qvcfpw12y6ptgmp4ym7j2 monthly 0.5 2022-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649624098309-9O290BAHXQKJIX4CXFDK/20220409_114142.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center - Make it stand out Some of our volunteers after moving a mountain of mulch and ready to have Melinda’s apple tart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649685960044-ZO387QW3OM7D3H95Q87M/redbud+at+DC+Stake+Center.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center - Our redbuds grow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623673534-PI58DXR068JOQHVNE9NH/20220409_112516.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623685653-4DG3S23ZLFJ80A8ZUTVL/20220409_113028.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623700525-5MMFWD3967731M9Z68CY/20220409_105504.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623709153-OWTSUDLWUMBF2LH1WJXR/20220409_103517.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623707750-AISZK6QSI5ONQ0SXCF2M/20220409_103745.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1649623713591-WFFQ209CEK4NW9Z8SNDW/20220409_103450.jpg News - Native Plant Garden at DC Stake Center http://eartheast.org/news/2022/3/10/inspiration-for-a-5th-sunday monthly 0.5 2022-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1646971331124-WHBHYBQ64ERNXX6K7F5N/Jane+Burner+stream.jpg News - Inspiration for a 5th Sunday - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://eartheast.org/news/2021/6/13/mt-vernon-trail monthly 0.5 2021-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1623613268480-TWS4C3C0Z9GZQAXEGE9F/20210612_102341.jpg News - Mt.

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until only a few lumps remain (make sure not to overmix). 2. If using an electric skillet, preheat to 350ºF. For stovetop, heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. 3. Lightly oil your skillet and using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop batter onto the warm skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, flip and cook on the other side until golden brown. Repeat for remaining batter and enjoy with whatever toppings you'd like! Makes 6-8 pancakes. Chickpea Salad Sandwiches Ingredients: 15oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 3 stalks green onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, finely chopped 1/4 cup carrots, grated or shredded 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped 1/4 cup dill pickle, finely chopped OR relish 1/4 cup mayonnaise (vegan or regular) 1-2 tsp dijon mustard (sub for regular if you don't like dijon) 1 tsp yellow mustard 1/8 tsp dried dill 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 3 Tbsp roasted sunflower seeds (optional) 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped (optional) Instructions: 1. Drain and rinse chickpeas and add them to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until texture appears flaked, like a tuna salad. 2. Chop vegetables and add to the bowl (to make it go faster, I roughly chop the celery, carrots, and bell pepper and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped). 3. Add mayo, mustard, and spices and mix thoroughly. Can be served on bread, in a wrap, with crackers, or straight from the bowl! Makes 4 servings. *This recipe is so good and goes fast so we usually double or triple it to make sure we have leftovers. Vegetarian Crockpot Chili Ingredients: 1 yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 15oz. can diced tomatoes (with juices) 1 6oz. can tomato paste 1 15oz. can black beans, drained 1 15oz. can kidney beans, drained 1 cup uncooked brown lentils 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp salt Black pepper, to taste 2 Tbsp coconut oil 4 cups vegetable broth Instructions: 1. Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and stir to combine. 2. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours. Lentils should be tender when done. 3. Add any toppings you'd like and enjoy! We like adding tortilla chips, hummus, and avocado. http://eartheast.org/news/2021/1/11/sustainable-eating monthly 0.5 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1610389128346-KAVYTAOVJNCQID6S3UYX/vegetable+heart.jpg News - Sustainable Eating Ellen White shares scriptural and science-based information on the benefits of a diet that is more plant based in this video on “Sustainable Eating”.

Wednesday, January 6, 2021, 7:30 MT (9:30 our time). Normally book info on this website is under the heading “Inspiration” - “Book Reviews” but this book’s discussion leader is Laurel Carroll, one of our local ESE members. I’m hoping a few of us are able to attend. Plus this is an amazing book and worth reading. The quote (left) is from Dickinson not Handley — but it’s what always comes to my mind when I think of hope and nature.

Turn metal tomato cages upside down, tie or wire the top together and use as a metal Christmas tree frame. Set on a porch or on top of a large pot (to add height). Wrap wire frame with lights if desired. Then use cut branches (either all of one type or a mix) sliding them into place with short ones on top, long on the bottom. It’s easiest to start with the bottom and work up. Slide stems under and between the lights and metal frame. You could wrap with twine, recycled ribbon or string with cranberries. It takes about 30 minutes to make a tree and is a lovely gift, especially for someone who may not have another Christmas tree. (After Christmas reuse lights and tomato cage.) There are hundreds of examples online. Below are photos for a tree designed to attract birds. Star on top is a suet feeder. If you do this style, be sure to clip any wire if used so it is not poking out to hurt birds. Ornaments are made of popcorn, real cranberries, bird seed and peanut butter on pinecones. https://www.birdsandblooms.com/backyard-projects/diy-bird-feeder/tomato-cage-christmas-tree-birds/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1607215625465-PDJUMN6H3G2YTVF3XUGR/Tomato-Cage-Christmas-Tree+1.jpg News - Creation Conscious Christmas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1607215636007-HY69RLKND6W3OH6FT734/Tomato-Cage-Christmas-Tree-4.jpg News - Creation Conscious Christmas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1607215650800-5PI3H940OSE1V7B2APPU/Tomato-Cage-Christmas-Tree-7.jpg News - Creation Conscious Christmas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1607208147031-KO9BNBTGEJ7EL4Z27939/20201205_163616.jpg News - Creation Conscious Christmas - Make fake real. 8. Take a small artificial tree (I have several that were being thrown out by others) and add cut branches of holly, pine or fir (any mix of interesting natural matter) and slide into the fake tree. Pretty soon all you see are the living branches. Takes only about 5 minutes to do. Makes a lovely table top decoration or a gift. I don’t bother to wire in any branches since I pull them out and compost after the holidays then store the fake tree as a frame for next year — I save with the ornaments and lights on so it’s very easy to redo the next year. Below are before/after photos of an artificial tree with and without extra real branches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1607210291742-CD1A9Q17FQP4JU09GQLA/20201205_175934.jpg News -

Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) We have 7 Jack (or Jill) in-the-pulpits currently growing in our shade garden at Pleasant View. This photo was taken at Pleasant View in mid-May. If you walk in the woods this time of year you're also likely to see them. Jack-in-the-pulpit prefers shady moist, deciduous woods. If you can create similar conditions in your garden the plant will thrive. A long lived perennial (25+ years), it will spread and colonize over time. There are Asian species but I prefer our native Jack/Jill. Check out extensive info on other native plants here. Jack-in-the-pulpits are dioecious, meaning it has male and female flowers on different plants, thus Jack or Jill. Not only that, but depending on how healthy the plant is, it will change its sex: it can produce no flowers, male flowers, or female flowers from one year to the next. Because producing fruit takes the most energy, only very healthy plants produce female flowers. Typically, female flowers are borne on plants with two leaves.

Earth Stewardship East created a native plant garden at Pleasant View which brings both beauty and life to this important historic site. Stop by to get ideas for your home landscape — feel free to pull weeds too! I’m pleased to report that the Pleasant View Trustees are organizing the restoration of both the historic school and church at Pleasant View. Construction should begin soon. The very small congregation which met in this historic church will be meeting in the Kentlands chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while this historic building is renovated. We’re grateful to the local leadership of our Church who have welcomed Mt. Olive Church led by Rev. Helen Woods to temporarily share our building. I know this is not exactly earth stewardship — but has been one among many good things that have come from our service that goes beyond “earth stewardship”. http://eartheast.org/news/2019/5/11/we-wear-the-workers-seal monthly 0.5 2019-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600160929-KZ20WBNG1QHAM6ZJGFPV/20190511_110856.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600158298-LXYQC2R88TI7FDIGZY01/20190511_105343.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600185521-H732LMUWLQZF3CRDNBKZ/20190511_103106.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600180559-ZPKAPGXKR97NNY5D9NQ0/20190511_101128.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600200700-N6FBGF4ZZ4967Y5UQK8Z/20190511_094815.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600209371-0FYR0EYMJ5IMV30KLKKT/20190511_094741.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600217221-7IJHBUYFW1QK5V2AU4L5/20190511_091447.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600224161-ZNNUO80G8BCJ07IZAGJJ/20190511_091415.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600680274-N5KJCRGDKPBZBPSUZRJS/20190511_120632.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600905068-OAVKDQLLHCX3FRMDEHWY/20190511_113755.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600666331-YUDB8JX7XOPJHJEKP8E8/20190511_114338.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600904184-VSD2OBV6LU1BJJ3TDRER/20190511_111550.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600812631-E7Z033Z2UU9OVTOZPCAC/20190511_113046.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600852724-3ZZRFF6JWAZZK6QJJW3A/20190511_112923.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600712105-UY229NFACE0M41YNQR1Y/20190511_111916.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557600725538-0DAS4ZRGTFP89M74HR31/20190511_111752.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557631830832-10YDMEH3CC7VVDUEB3TM/J3sq7KufRVqgu1clCmiHOQ.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557631842822-REJCM3X6MFS4M9H8HES7/ciLJ70MYTWeI9yFJODh%2BtA.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557631847361-YTSKAKSY871NJ7YB184O/PTSerd3cTkiXIdXDUz7HYg.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557631855607-AVI16Z2E4QNC04CBTHD9/E6sJcd91R7K8d2ZVehOShQ.jpg News - We Wear the Workers' Seal http://eartheast.org/news/2019/4/10/spring-ephemerals-and-other-joys monthly 0.5 2019-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1554903247970-8US6JGSR7QU3K2ZCH9IT/grackle%2C+t.+pitts.jpg News - Spring Ephemerals and Other Joys Splish, splash; grackle, crackle.

There's always lots of work to be done but it's also very satisfying to see the small trees growing and the range of plants that have survived with only minimal care (no watering since the first year, for example).

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and others pulled weeds, planted trees and mulched our garden. Tilting headstones in the cemetery were straightened — a bonus. Lots of food and friendly conversation made for a fun morning. For details see "Pleasant View" from our home page.

KING Day of Service January 15, 1 pm Join us to pick up trash along the Muddy Branch --- the watershed we are protecting with our Pleasant View project. Explore the Muddy Branch trail and help us keep it clean. We'll start at 1 p.m. from the parking lot at 15021 Durfief Mill Road (near Rt. 28 and Muddy Branch). OR do your own MLK service by inviting friends and family to help you pick up trash along the closest stream to your home. There are also many other MLK service events organized throughout our region. Please join in to help build community through service. For details on the Muddy Branch event, contact Merikay at merikays@verizon.net or visit the Muddy Branch Alliance website www.muddybranch.org If you chose to serve somewhere other than Muddy Branch, please consider taking a photo and sharing it with us. Speaking of photos, Tompkins Hallman (left, age 90+) is sharing his experiences with Pleasant View volunteers in the historic colored school at one of our ESE planting events. Hearing him speak was a treasure -- WWII veteran, civil rights activist. Besides speaking to us he was out digging with us in the native plant garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629535272-XECCZ3YDC42AF73HVKGQ/IMG_1580.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629534209-D2TLUBAATN4MG6EGSOZU/IMG_1581.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629546761-KRL52N24I1IDGDNS14H5/IMG_1583.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629554346-BSD8M01AKI1JESQZ7VHH/IMG_1616.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629563194-VSDWLCALDYESMD3I29YH/IMG_1619.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629569069-UYMNSV6X1WSC9WAGTG1H/IMG_1620.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629568810-PFLZ5MS3UPM46KQPBF7H/IMG_1625.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1503629601709-RVU5RS4FOH7FFR3M3SKG/IMG_1653.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497847431409-YKH4JTW9DT4KAFVGLQ9Y/poplar+island+satellite.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497847449131-WXZL1NZDMWODY4JF6ATZ/poplar+island+heron.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497847460513-434U2P112HAZZE8O4DYO/poplar+island+geese.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497847482059-UJCRQVNN9EAAHKS8MXVU/poplar+island+swans.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888642709-AIIJB5ME6S84GZGWAPK7/20160917_171750.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888647856-PH7XAMEPW9XEV1378MQY/20160917_175542.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888658041-9F68CJV5Q126PMQ8KD2G/20160917_194535.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888840361-EMGCEHPVJX87ZO01GVCD/20160917_155915.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888839902-VA4O149PBY5F4JFUVDSV/20160917_160115.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497888846959-5GE2L1H1IP7DJ89ORL1J/20160917_161034.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497889090562-2R8STIR9IPPV0Y1L819R/20160918_114845.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1497889507556-JYA0IW78XJ2LJWI0WIY5/20160918_123827.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1493867553228-ETJ5CLPXRZPUO2EL7JN2/image-asset.jpeg Events Native yucca in the foreground, used to mark graves in historic African American cemeteries.

Book Joe Richardson shared Drawdown with us during our tour of Bar-T. Joe has used the ideas of this book to guide his stewardship. We enjoyed seeing some of the amazing things he has accomplished when we toured with him on July 10, 2020. This book was discussed in the LDSES book group. Now is a good time to pick up a good book on earth stewardship and begin a journey like Joe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1641672700858-3G9DWQY9AU4CCP7WEEQD/Saving+Us%2C+Hayhoe.jpg Book Reviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1641440128482-LHB8TY3UCLV174VHW0QH/Under+a+White+Sky%3B+the+Nature+of+the+Future.jfif Book Reviews You may have missed the book group discussion but don’t miss the book. As we talked of this book about the future, we also shared thoughts on ways to cope with feelings of depression and anxiety associated with understanding the challenges humans have created to a healthy, functioning, nurturing earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1631674461625-TT9AOL0ZWU3VT61H5M5A/earth+will+appear.jfif Book Reviews Applying the perspectives of environmental history to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members, this collection provides a scholarly introduction to the role of nature in the Church in the past. These essays explore how nature has influenced beliefs and how these beliefs inform our encounters with nature.

A desert, by definition, lacks it, but when water does come, it comes in torrential, sometimes devastating abundance. Childs, a thirtysomething desert rat with a vast knowledge of the Southwest's remote corners, knows this fact well. "Most rain falling anywhere but the desert comes slow enough that it is swallowed by the soil without comment," he observes. "Desert rains, powerful and sporadic, tend to hit the ground, gather into floods, and are gone before the water can sink five inches into the ground." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1641672538704-6JQSPV56KZQNR8HQ1QP8/braiding+sweetgrass.jpg Book Reviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1588346883199-NYW56L6VUOIFXQWPEDOG/book.jpg Book Reviews - Why can’t we just all get along? David Ryser will lead us in a discussion of The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.

Highly variable, even within a single puddle, cricket frogs (northern and southern) can usually be identified by the backwards-pointing triangle on top of the head and often have a contrasting stripe down the back. Call sounds like a cricket. The northern cricket frog is one of 14 species of frog and toads found in Montgomery County, where I live. What frog species can be found in your county? How many do you host in your garden?

He is now working with schools in Athens, Memphis, LA, Steamboat Springs, Tacoma WA, Plymouth MA, Dade County FL to recover food. Joe has a goal to create a student led movement that will spread nationwide. He will be presenting at the EarthX summit in Dallas in April and at the ReFed conference in Charlotte in May. He is working with Pete Pearson from the WWF to launch a national campaign for food recovery in late September. Joe says he continues to promote decontamination of recycling, composting but has found the Food Recovery is inexpensive, incredibly impactful and devoid of opposition. So that is where he and Lunch Out of Landfills is currently focused. To learn more check the links below: www.youtube.com/@LunchOutofLandfills LOOL Website - https://lunchoutoflandfills.org When we can demonstrate measurable results in individual schools and communities, it becomes far easier to scale this work statewide and across entire school systems. Do you remember what it’s like when it snows? You step outside and see a few flakes gently floating down and before long, there are flakes filling the sky and the landscape is completely changed to white. Joe Richardson says we should be like those first snowflakes as we do earth stewardship, and soon we’ll be joined by others to create a blizzard, totally altering the landscape around us. I had the pleasure of talking with Joe about how his faith and Church teachings have motivated his desire to do earth stewardship and to engage others, especially the young, in making a real difference. Joe owns Bar-T Ranch in Frederick, MD. His passion for the Creation has led him to create a place where young people see earth stewardship modeled – the camp has a huge solar panel system, geothermal system, and sustainable design for the buildings including composting toilets (saving ~1M gallons of fresh water/year). He also has a 10 kilowatt wind turbine. He has recently taken 50 acres from traditional farm production to do sustainable agriculture. He has obtained funding for a massive stream restoration project on site, removing sediment, creating a wetland, creating plunge pools to slow erosion and protecting tributaries. On April 4 he’ll be hosting a Climate Solutions Symposium for high school students to meet with professional designers and engineers to learn about sustainable technologies. Joe noticed in visiting schools the massive volume of food being wasted. Unopened cartons of milk and other food was going directly into the garbage. He contacted nearby Frederick Rescue Mission and learned they could use this food. He started teaching the students to compost waste food, recycle other items, and set aside untouched food which is collected in a cooler and picked up daily for the Rescue Mission. In 25 days at one school 1,517 cartons of milk and 500 apples were given to the mission. From this small start Joe has created programs in 14 schools to recycle, compost and share food – massively reducing the amount of food and other waste in the waste stream. Students are learning about composting, recycling and caring about neighbors in need. They also learn skills in keeping statistics by weighing, recording, and reporting for the project. http://www.meegreen.org/programs/school-composting-waste-reduction/ Lunch Out of Landfills is now a program being considered in even more schools across the state: Carroll, Kent, Montgomery, and Anne Arundel counties are all starting programs. Joe will be speaking before the state legislature on March 6 about funding to extend the program statewide. There are about 12,000 students participating this year with the potential to have 3 or 4 times that many next year. There’s potential for Maryland to model the program for other states as well – dramatically increasing the amount of food saved, waste reduced and items recycled. This blizzard of earth stewardship started with the single snowflake, Joe Richardson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y51Wh3j2wAA&feature=emb_logo I’m so grateful to Earth Stewardship East member Caitlin Magidson who connected me with Joe. He has offered to host an event for us sometime this summer at his Bar-T ranch in Frederick. I can’t wait to see what he has created. Hope you’ll join us. Details will be posted under “Events” soon. https://rotarysouthernfrederick.org/interact-climate-solutions-symposium/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1528049961170-P3F0AMCCLEPVXHZ9MTX5/beetles.jpg Spotlights - An inordinate fondness for beetles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1528053225886-CIOPRGZJGN2STN0EQXD9/rebecca+clement.JPG Spotlights Rebecca Clement preparing bags that will hold samples of various Australian tree species.

Perfect weather and willing workers meant we got a lot done. All beds were weeded and mulched, and new stone retaining walls built. Ricky Davis installed a birdhouse which he painted. The conservation landscape looks splendid now. I visited Mt. Olive Church service today and Rev. Woods says it’s like having a small Garden of Eden to remind all of the wonders of Creation. Special thanks to all who helped make the event a success including our team leaders, especially the Markoffs, as well as Sara Huang and Mary Ellen Blewett. Earth stewardship fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1557082679830-EBSNB8LPNLPYM75LQ72Q/20190504_101610+-+Copy.jpg Pleasant View Project

Thanks to the 28 volunteers who helped. We were happy to have Bill Phillips, Regis Canny, Eryn Chastain and her daughters from Fairhaven join us. Rev. Gerard Green, Rita Green, Carolyn Thompson and Melvin Joppy, Jr. have been regular volunteers and PV Trustees. Laurie-Anne Sayles, City Council of Gaithersburg, came with her husband. LDS volunteers: Lauris Hunter, Celia Paulsen, and Bill and Maura Pratt (and their children), Laura Friend (what a great name) and her children. Jeff Smith, who spent 7 hours on Saturday helping with PV claims to enjoy it which allows Merikay to enjoy it too! Daniel Clark provided us with a truck load of mulch. He is a licensed arborist working in our area. www.clarktrees.com Click on photos below to see April 21, 2018 event.

garden. Our defense: many of the plants we've chosen are not their favorites, we use deer spray, and interplant plants they dislike (strong scents help like mountain mint) along with the ones they like. We lose some but most are holding their own despite deer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573b5e227da24fb15beebb66/1518979713950-GFT36PC3QCYENDA9N4AD/IMG_6698.JPG Pleasant View Project
