To the Editor:
Is one of the reasons you love living in our area because of our natural environment? If so, I recommend joining the Newaygo County Environmental Coalition. Our newsletter is filled with fun and helpful knowledge and experiences for you and your family.  In January, we winter sowed native seeds. We also learned about “Wild Ones''. Some participants gathered to discuss starting a chapter in Newaygo county.  We helped reduce invasive non-natives in local nature sanctuaries. We are learning about vernal pools, how to recognize and advance vernal pool research and conserve their incredible biodiversity with more meetings starting March 6th.  We learned about foraging in our county,and we’re going to learn about participating in prescribed burning on March 9. All of our opportunities can be yours. Btw: White River Watershed owners, grant funds are available to plant trees on your river property. our allies provide info on more choices for involvement. Join us! Find more info,  visit our facebook page or website,
nc-ec.org  for these and more opportunities.
