We are excited to announce that the Friends of Green Lake Floating Wetlands are on their way to Green Lake from Scotland. We are on schedule to assemble, plant, and anchor the wetlands in Green Lake on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend May 28 and 29, 2022. See the Taiga Wetlands Flyer to share with others about the project and come see us in action if you can in our quest to improve wildlife habitat and water quality in the lake using this innovative technology.
We need to raise approximately $10,000 to supplement our material costs and provide sufficient funds for long-term maintenance and monitoring. Please Give Big or Small to our project by contributing a tax-deductible donation using our Venmo account or mail us a check. GREEN LAKE NEEDS YOUR HELP!!
For more information see the Project Page.
Green Lake Work Party Saturday May 14, 2022, 9AM to 11AM
Hello Stewards…
Happy May! Hope this email finds you well.
We are having a work party for 20 volunteers on Saturday, May 14th, from 9 am to 11am.
- Be Vaccinated: Participants, 12 years and above, are required to be vaccinated to participate in volunteer events. As most volunteer events are not staffed with City employees we are asking participants for voluntary compliance.
- Masking is not required: Although not required, we continue to encourage all participants to arrive wearing a face covering, and keep it on during event introductions, when assisting other participants with tasks, during clean up and in any other scenario where 6-foot distancing cannot be maintained. Masks may be removed during work activities where participants are spread out and able to maintain at least 6-foot distancing.
- Come Symptom Free: Please do not attend the event if you have been experiencing any of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of smell or taste or if anyone in your household is suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19.
- Bring your own work gloves.
- We will work separated with social distancing in mind.
