Outings with the Wesleyan Outing Club

SPRING CLEANING
What: Plants? Trees? Connecticut Forests?
When: Thursday, May 8th, 1 - 4pm
Where: The CFPA (Conn. Forest and Park Ass.)
Why: Refreshments included!
AND BECAUSE
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association is the organization behind most of Connecticut's forests and parks (imagine that!). The roots between the Wesleyan Outing Club and the CFPA run deep (a member of our club blazing many of their trails at one point) but recently the leaves have fallen from our relationship. They need some spring cleaning of the land around their headquarters and would like this event to fertilize a renewed partnership. The board member who works the gardens is a retired professor from Connecticut College; she will be pointing out and explaining all the plants and trees she has planted. We will also have the chance to browse the indoors of their headquarters, getting ideas for future projects. Please respond by email if you are interested oriana.korol@gmail. We will meet at Outhouse at 12:45 on Thursday, May 8th, one extra car will be needed.
