From Urban Forest Committee…

…to sandbox building.

Testing the layout prior to moving into place

The Whitewater Urban Forest Committee has suddenly become enamored of my idea of creating an arboretum in Starin Park, and today was the first meeting of the group—city, university, school district, neighborhood association. Rather fun to see a long held idea begin to take root.

When the meeting wrapped up, it was off to O’woc to help with sandbox construction, using the model developed at Flambeau. Everybody pitched in (although the girls did take some time to work on and present a dance routine). Now comes the sand shoveling!
