Establishing a Food Forest-Film screening, discussion, and hands-on planting with
Neil Bertrando

Learn how to create abundance in your backyard. Be part of the solution developing local food supplies, habitat, and beauty.
We'll start by watching Geoff Lawton's video Establishing a Food Forest. Then we'll discuss and diagram locally appropriate plant selections, layouts, and the importance of planting from seed to evolve locally adapted food producing trees and shrubs. We'll finish by potting apricot and Indigobush seedlings to take home. We're asking for a $2 donation for each potted plant you take home to cover our materials costs, otherwise the event is free.
Date: THIS Friday July 11th 6pm-8pm
Cost: Free

Do you have thoughts on mining in Nevada?
Please help with this survey.


Alexandra Masaitis, a Graduate Student in Environmental Sciences and Health at the University of Nevada, is working on a project related to Good Neighbor Agreements between mining companies and interested communities who might be affected by mining.
She is looking for survey respondents from a wide variety of people with an interest in community sustainability and mining projects.  While this will not be a general survey on public opinion of mining, she is hoping to better understand how each interested group perceives mining and how concerns can be alleviated, when possible.
Please access THIS LINK to complete survey
Alexandra is hoping that this effort can help to reduce conflicts, and ultimately provide a benefit to the community.  Your time is very much appreciated.
If you have any questions or concerns related to the survey, please contact .
