SUMMARY:CRCQL Chester Environmental Justice - General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The work continues and CRCQL is gearing up for another productive and engaging year ahead. We remain focused on our mission to protect residents’ rights to clean air and a healthy environment.  Below is some information about our upcoming meetings\, 2025 recap and updates on our ongoing campaigns. \nThere will continue to be an onslaught of news this year that will shock\, disorient and disrupt us. A great way to break the negativity spiral is to get involved with local groups\, like CRCQL\, that are actively working on the ground to protect residents rights and prevent further pollution and harm in Delaware County.  Even extending a few hours of time or educating your neighbor on the issues at hand makes all the difference! \nRegister at ChesterPaEJ.org/meeting. We hope to see you at a meeting or event this year.

SUMMARY:Winter Sowing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Class size is limited; Free registration; Please register below \nInterested in growing native and other pollinator-friendly perennials from seed? \nNative plant species are specifically adapted to local pollinators\, providing superior nutrition compared to non-native ornamental plants and offering a vital habitat for local wildlife. Planting in groups (pollinator patches) rather than single plants increases visibility and allows pollinators to utilize resources more efficiently. To support a diverse range of species\, it is important to ensure a mix of plants that bloom from early spring through late fall. How could you obtain that many plants? The answer is winter sowing! \nWinter sowing is an easy\, inexpensive\, and eco-friendly method to grow these plants efficiently. Seeds are sown in milk jugs during winter and left outdoors to germinate\, allowing them to adapt naturally to the local climate. Please see the flyer for more details on this workshop led by EAC member Anjana Vidyadharan who will share her experiences as a local gardener. Gay Lacy\, RML staff member and backyard gardener\, reminds us that growing seeds is not difficult when basic growing information is provided. Anjana and Gay look forward to teaching residents that eating homegrown\, wholesome food is beneficial for a healthy community! \nPlease bring a cleaned milk jug and seeds of your choice to learn how to grow hardy perennials from seed and successfully establish them in your garden. \n\n\nRegistration is required. There are 17 seats available.
