Addition:
In Fairfield, the Leopold Group will be participating in tree planting
activities Saturday - convening at the Town Square at 10:00.
On Monday at 10:00 at the corner of Jefferson and 12th, we will be
starting a streambed clean-up on the creek that leads into Jefferson
County Park.
We also urge everyone to call or email Senator Grassley and voice your
displeasure regarding his wrongheaded vote on ANWR.
