Give Bucklin Hill Improvement Feedback

COBI has a biking/walking/rolling online survey about islanders’ current use of Bucklin Hill Rd between Blakely Av and Fletcher Bay Rd and ideas about needed improvements.

Here’s the link to the project webpage and survey, which takes about 10 minutes. The survey is open until 5 pm on March 5th.

Ways to Grow for Helpline House

With planting time approaching, you can help get fresh veggies to Helpline by growing in your own garden or someone else’s. The Veg Club has a list of garden space as well as volunteer planting opportunities. To get on the Veg Club mailing list and be alerted to virtual monthly meetings, contact Carol Appenzeller.
