Western Cuyahoga Audubon Conservation Project Lab February 2, 2019 Details

2/2/2019

I just spent some very enjoyable time meeting with other members of the Sierra Club and the Western Cuyahoga Audubon group. It really felt good to meet with like-minded people who care about and like the same things I do - plants, the earth, and water. I guess we’re a bunch of bird loving tree huggers! It was very useful conversation about what we can do to instill hope and start doing something meaningful and helpful to the community that will give all of us a better feeling about our future. ~ Fran Mentch, Activist, and Co-Chair, Water Committee, NEO Sierra Club
