Monte Vista's Fruit Orchard/Food Forest Project SB NEEDS HELP TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON Friday Mar 3


Monte Vista School is planting a fruit tree orchard and the community is 
invited to participate!  TOMORROW afternoon Friday Mar 4, help is needed at 
730 Hope Avenue, S.B., to move a mountain of mulch as the final layer of 
compost, punctured cardboard and mulch for the several thousand square foot 
site.   This is a super opportunity for high school students seeking 
community service!  Everyone is welcome to come "pitch in." . Come for an 
hour ,there are many jobs for all folks regardless of Physical strength, or 
just drop by and observe the work that has happened so far.
	THIS is a way for the community to show that these projects have the 
community's support. this is a way of building community


March 10th, next Thursday, is planting day.  African-American drumming, 
environmental lessons and hands-on planting experiences will be facilitated 
by a non-profit group called Common Vision, an outreach project of the CA 
Sustainability Program.  The SB Permaculture Guild is overseeing the local 
project, which is one of 45 school sites being visited during a 70-day CA 
school tour.  Volunteer labor, planting mix, some varieties of fruit trees 
and financial support would be appreciated for Monte Vista's fruit 
orchard.  Please contact teacher Judy Sims at Monte Vista School, 687-5333, 
or leave a message at 687-3262.   There are on-going gardening and 
environmental projects at the school and volunteers are ALWAYS welcome!
