Charlevoix Conservation District
April 2020 Update
Planting Trees...Something to Feel Good About!
Those who have placed an order with us should have received our updated plan for tree sale pick up weekend - we will begin taking calls Monday, March 30th. For those still thinking about sending in an order, please see the new COVID-19 compliance pick up plan listed below for our Tree Sale Pick Up Weekend on April 24th & 25th. Yes, we are still taking orders! We've listed what we are sold out of below.
Also, as you may assume, we have cancelled all of our Spring Community Outreach Workshops until further notice. As always, call or email us with any questions about your land, we are happy to do what we can to help you!
Beachgrass is currently full for Spring harvest. As much as we'd like to be able to take on more, we cannot depend on the help of students at this point. Therefore our District staff of two, and a few willing volunteers, will be working hard to harvest all 25,000 plugs on order. We will be outdoors, well spaced out & following all protocol. It may take a little longer to complete harvest this year, but we will ensure you receive your order! It's our job & it's what we do!
We will get through this...keep thinking Spring!
Thank you for continuing to support our Spring fundraisers. Without state funding, though mandated to exist, Conservation Districts across the state rely on our Tree Sales to thrive. Tree Sale & Beachgrass Harvests are the only sources of operation & general program funding the Charlevoix CD receives. Without them we can't survive! Stay Well Everyone!
Things to Look Forward to Through Your Local Conservation District...
Summer Nature Programs for Youth
These outdoor workshops are so much fun, kids don't even know they're learning! These workshops are free & no registration required. Geared toward ages 4-9, but families of all ages are welcome.
Please be prepared to share materials, or bring your own, as we are limited in supplies. Get ready for some serious nature fun :)
Paint Parties with Gaudy Giggles
Coming Soon...
We are working out the details to put some fun nature-based workshops in place that combine art, nature - possibly even a nature hike - & lots of messy hands-on fun! These workshops will likely be offered on a monthly basis. A fee may be involved to help cover the cost of materials & workshop leader time.
We'd like to have different adults share their expertise, so let us know if you have any art, outdoor, science and/or nature specialties you'd like to share with kids! Parents can lead these too, the more help we receive the better. We will release the details as soon as possible...and able ;)
