This Saturday, October 9th, Red Bison will be meeting at our Work Shed at 10 am to collect native seeds from the Pollinatrium Prairie and spread them throughout the South Arboretum Woods. To navigate to where we’ll meet, please refer to this map.  As usual, if the weather prevents us from meeting, we will reschedule for Sunday – same time, same place. If this happens, we will send out an email and a message on our GroupMe – so let us know if you’d like to be added to the Red Bison GroupMe! For this meeting, we recommend wearing long pants and to have socks that cover your ankles, as well as being sure to bring water/sunscreen/bug spray to be comfortable. To RSVP for this week’s meeting, please fill out this Google Form.

Additionally, Red Bison will be participating in Green Quad Day, an event led by the Student Sustainability Leadership Council (SSLC). This event recently got rescheduled and will now take place on Tuesday, October 12th, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Anniversary Plaza. We are currently looking for volunteers to staff our table! This event will give you the opportunity to check out other amazing groups on campus that focus on sustainability, such as From the Ground Up, Facilities and Services Sustainability Division, Ten Thousand Villages, Stop Line 3 CU, and many more! On top of that, volunteering for this event would be a great way to help support our group, get to know your fellow members, and practice your speaking skills. We’d love to see you there! To RSVP for staffing this event, you can use this Google Doc to schedule your shift. We are hoping to have 2-3 volunteers at our table at all times. 

That’s all for this week! In terms of future Saturday meetings, we are likely going to continue collecting native prairie seed at the SAW on the 16th, and on the 30th, we are planning to have a fun, social, Halloween-themed day! Keep an eye out for future updates about these meetings!

Have a great rest of your week,
