The workdays sometime shift around with the weather or needs of the streams, but here is our current schedule for spring 2019. The work isn’t complicated and we can find a task for anyone. Get them on your calendar and we’ll see you on the stream. And remember that every workday you take part in will get you one entry into a drawing for the Streamkeeper Rod built by Jim Bartelt. The winner for 2018 was drawn at the Icebreaker: Zach Olufs.

Bonus workday! Apple Pruning – Sunday, March 10, 2019

This was a super fun event last year and we’ll do it again in 2019 at the Neperud orchard. We’ll get instructions, then get together with others and do the small trimming and shaping that will help the orchard prosper. So save the date and watch for more information to be shared in future Newscasts.
