\n<\/strong>\u2022 June 4: Alex, Ann
\n\u2022 July 2: Fadime
\n<\/strong>\n#2 Lunch and Learn report and planning
\n\u2022 <\/strong>Bees talk was a success!
\n\u2022 To do: sort out honorarium disbursement. Might require a bit of paperwork from
\nMatt (e.g. does he need to be a vendor?) Seb will forward info from when we did
\nthis for Kumara. Alex will follow up with Marney.
\n\u2022<\/strong> Next event can be alternative septic system talk\/tour. Talk could get good attendance,
\nthen possibly follow up with a tour. Tentatively a talk first half of September? Liz will
\nreach out.
\n\u2022 Food event – could team up with the village gardeners for an end-of-season event.
\nMaybe some presentation on garden food? Followed by outdoor picnic.
\n\u2022 Reducing light pollution event. Maybe next spring for bird migration?
\n<\/strong>\n#3 Event planning
\n\u2022 <\/strong>Bike repair cafe in summer? Fadime will coordinate with Falmouth bike lab, who might
\nbe able to provide volunteers
\n\u2022 For events: make sure to take pictures and send to Fadime!
\n<\/strong>\n#4 Landscape discussion
\n\u2022 <\/strong>Invasive removal progress and plans
\n\u2022 Seb and Alex have made some progress on removing Japanese knotweed. Also
\ncleared the downed trees by the rose garden.
\n\u2022 Low attendance at invasive pulling events. How to increase? Have a regular
\nschedule and emails.
\n\u2022 Do we want to try glyphosate in the fall?
\n\u2022 Try transplanting Kousa dogwood to meadow? Maybe in Sep to avoid drought.
\n\u2022 STF garden plot meeting tomorrow; plan a clean up day and what to plant
\n<\/strong>\n#5 Bird deterrent discussion
\n\u2022 <\/strong>Groups at Watson and Clark South have seen bird strikes recently and have been
\ninterested in decal-based deterrents.
\n<\/strong>\n#6 New business
