Green Opportunities

While we are officially entrenched in the spring season, it certainly doesn't feel like it!  Mother Nature has dealt us a wicked blow after a long, cold, snowy winter!  Thoughts of garden bed clean up, planting flowers and cleaning out the clutter of winter are on hold for most of us, at least until the weather warms up.

Despite the cool, rainy temps, there are a few "Green Opportunities" that may help make you feel like you are making headway toward springtime activities.

• The Friend of Hoyt Park will hold their Annual Meeting on Monday April 22nd from 6:45-9 p.m. at  Hoyt School.  The Friend of Hoyt Park are a group of volunteers who share concerns about the future of this Madison park and assist with maintenance of the Park's natural areas, historic structures and recreational lands. 

• On April 20th, West High School is having its annual electronic recycling drive . If you have any unwanted electronics with a plug and batteries under 75 pounds, you can drop them off at West High's parking lot, off of Van Hise.  Electronic collection will occur from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, with a suggested donation of $10. There is a mandatory fee of $15 per TV.

Here's hoping the "real" spring arrives soon!
