Fern Hill Wetlands Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Barn Swallow Families,

We have another trip confirmed and it's coming up fast! Next Wednesday, October 10th, from about 11:30 to 2:00, we will be learning at the Fern Hill Wetlands here in Forest Grove. There are many exciting changes occurring there and we will learn more about what's to come as we explore Forest Grove's wetland. We will need 1-2 adult volunteers to join us to ensure safe, supervised, and happy learners. Would you like to come? Please email me at S.Reuter@fgcschool.org if you are interested.

Thank you families!

Sincerely,

Sherry

What can you plant at B Street Farm in the fall? -2008

FAVA BEANS! As the leaves were changing colors students used rakes and aeratation tools to prepare a fall bed in the garden. The fava beans, as well as their mulch, will help protect the soil from erosion and compaction over the wet winter season. Because it is a legume, it will also provide nitrogen to the soil. Students found many miniature farmers, worms, as they gently burried the large fava seeds. A garter snake even came by to say hello as the students were planting this fall afternoon.
