\n\u2022 February 19th – Alex and Liz
\n\u2022 March 5th – Liz
\n\u2022 April 2nd – Ann Stone\n#2 Lunch and Learn updates<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Ideas for the year:
\n\u2022 Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center. Liz will email them. Potential field
\ntrip?
\n\u2022 Spring: Mike Pelikan from Biodiversity Works about native bees? Alex will reach
\nout.
\n\u2022 Another food event? Ann Stone can help with that.
\n\u2022 Reducing light pollution on Cape Cod: Sierra Club speakers. Suggested by Pam Polloni.\n#3 Event planning<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Bike repair cafe in early May? In advance of bike to work day on May 15th. Could ask the
\nFalmouth bike lab people if any of their volunteers would want to help.
\n\u2022 Fall repair cafe again
\n\u2022 Winter duck walk in the next few weeks
\n\u2022 Plant walk? Invasive\/edible?
\n\u2022 Invasive plant removal
\n\u2022 Seb tree planting? Early spring
\n\u2022 Earth Day 2026: theme is “Our Power, Our Planet”. Plan to do the bike repair the week after
\nbecause Earth Day is during school break week.\nWinter: Duck walk at noon-1 on Tuesday, March 9th
\nSpring: Native bees LnL, bike repair cafe, tree planting? Invasive plant removal?
\nSummer: Bird walk, alternative septic system LnL?, (Have summer events during the work day, use
\nClark 5 with nice balcony)
\nFall: Repair cafe, invasive plant removal, possibly food-based LnL?\n#4 Bird deterrent discussion<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Window tape can be expensive and may interfere with energy efficiency treatment.
\n\u2022 Alex found another solution from Cornell where you can hang braided rope along windows.
\nThat’s what they use for their buildings.
\n\u2022 We could possibly use old line from rigging shop, etc.
\n\u2022 Alex will look into this solution and will check in with those who have seen bird strikes on
\ncampus\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
