Work party at the permaculture park project Wednesday 6/11 4-6pm
First off, let me say thank you to all of the folks who helped make Monday's ribbon cutting a huge success! I think we had between 60-70 attendees from the neighborhood, CCE staff, city government, a whole class of BJM 1st graders and of course, our stellar volunteers. Keep your eyes pealed for an article in next weeks edition of Tompkins Weekly about the event. This coming Wednesday 6/11 from 4-6pm, we will be gathering again for a work party at the park *(Conley Park on the corner of Adams and Lake next door to the Science Center)* to continue getting things into shape for the summer. We will be watering, weeding and mulching but I would also be happy to give folks a tour of the park in case they missed Monday's event.

Edible Park Design Session March 27 6:30-8:30
Conley Park (between the Sciencenter and Neighborhood Pride grocery) will be planted with edible landscape plants this spring. This will be the first of two design sessions for people who want to get involved in this project. We'll look at the current planting areas in the park, discuss the needs and uses by neighboring families and organizations, come up with a general plan for locations of new plantings, and learn about the lesser-known edible trees, shrubs and perennials that can be grown in downtown Ithaca. Design Session 2 will be held in April and will go continue with information on permaculture principles, planting in 'guilds' and finally getting down to the nitty-gritty of designing the individual edible gardens within the park. Planting sessions will take place in May and June. https://www.facebook.com/events/399305193497932/ For more info, contact Josh Dolan at sapsquat...@gmail.com ___ FingerLakesPermaculture mailing list FingerLakesPermaculture@lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/fingerlakespermaculture Visit http://FLXpermaculture.Net to manage your subscription.

Hello, I'm writing to let you know about 'Sapsquatch Community Supported Maple Syrup Expansion Campaign' http://igg.me/p/59552?a=365506 Take a moment to check it out on IndieGoGo and also share it with your friends. All the tools are there. Get perks, make a contribution, or simply follow updates. If enough of us get behind it, we can make 'Sapsquatch Community Supported Maple Syrup Expansion Campaign' happen. We are raising funds to put walls on our sugarhouse to keep out the cold (yes, there will be more real winters in New York, so don't panic just yet) raise a new kitchen and sleeping area for overnight guests and ecotourists, and to purchase efficiency equipment like the Steam-Away sap pre-heater to reduce our footprint.

Re: Try your hand at Maple Sugaring, Enfiled NY 12/12/10 at 12pm
Hello Syrup Fans! Would you like to get first hand experience producing maple syrup? How would you like a discount on maple syrup this spring? January's Sapsquatch Community workday will be held this Sunday, 1/2 from 11pm - 4pm. The Sapsquatch Sugar Bush is located at 2247 Mecklenburg Rd. (SR79) in Enfield, 8 miles from downtown Ithaca. Look for a big red barn just after you cross the bridge 1/2 mile from Enfield Corners. Pull into the first driveway and exit around the other side of the house. The sugar bush is located down the trail that runs east between the barn and the road down into the woods. The sugarshack is quickly filling up with firewood for this year boiling, but there is still more room. We will be continuing winter tasks such as cutting, chopping and stacking, closing in our new lounge and mudroom, and bucking up logs. Folks with chainsaws and/ or axes would be much appreciated!
