Maritime Museum will be holding its Watershed Summer Camp—open for 5^th through 8^th graders! Sign up now and FOBR will pay for your kids to attend this great camp…info on their webpage; I believe its 3 whole days. Questions, contact Emily.

John Meyer was out pulling garlic mustard and Hempton Lake Rd landfill refused to take it.. he is contacting DNR to understand what is ok to go to landfills. Maybe we could laminate them some pictures of acceptable “invasives” so there won’t be future issues?

Brian Stanelle attended a Water Action Volunteer training day in Wild Rose on May 11. He learned a great deal about water quality testing techniques and will briefly discuss simple techniques Saturday. We will also be pulling out invertebrates and comparing them with a chart from the program that indicates what quality of water they are living in.

Upcoming events:

• Brat fry at Rob’s:July 6 (call Al to help—anywhere between 9 and 3ish+/-)
• Aug 5 meeting at Taus Town Hall 6:30 pm
• June 8 Family Event at Dodge Preserve… Ann/Monarch expert at 1! Brian and I will be in the river hunting crayfish, etc and possibly doing some simple water quality tests 11-12ish. Kids craft after lunch–painting a flat rock like a turtle shell, kids cut out head, legs, tail and some snake sticks!
