Don’t miss these eco-events

I am amazed at all of the great eco-friendly events tak­ing place in and around our county. Delaware is hop­ping with edu­ca­tional and family-friendly hap­pen­ings. Here is a snap­shot of some local events com­ing up that you might want to con­sider attending:

With all the com­mu­nity gar­dens sprout­ing up around Delaware County, it is easy to see that grow­ing your own pro­duce is even more pop­u­lar than it was even just a few years ago. That’s a good thing. Reap­ing the rewards of grow­ing fruits and veg­eta­bles is a great way to recon­nect with nature and the ori­gins of our food.

Wildlife experts: City coyotes should be expected

Campers feed the ani­mals, col­lect eggs, milk goats and har­vest pro­duce from the gar­den. Con­nect­ing with nature in the woods and mak­ing bread are also part of the experience.
