Ever struggle trying to catch Big Bear’s brief growing season (between frosts), battle the squirrels?

Confirmed speakers include: Fran Wyman (growing vegetables), Marv Cira (composting), Brian Johnson from Altitude Distribution (year round growing using hydroponic techniques), and Shelley Egan from Eminger’s (xeriscape gardening). So bring your questions and your experiences to share.

Call Christie Walker, 866-5006 for more information.



A Field Trip to Mitsubishi Cement Plant Here's your chance to see first hand what the Mitsubishi Cement Plant is doing is terms of reclamation of the land when they are done mining. On May 22nd, the Sierra Club Big Bear Group is taking a Field Trip down the mountain to the Mitsubishi Plant for a personal tour of the facility and of the areas that are currently being reclaimed. We will be carpooling from the Vons Parking lot leaving promptly at 2:30, so plan on arriving about 10 minutes early at 2:20. Following the tour, we will be having dinner in Lucerne. We will divide the carpooling up into two groups: those that are staying for dinner and those who are not. The tour will last approximately 2 hours. This is a walking tour, so bring sturdy shoes, water and sun protection. If you plan on going to dinner afterwards bring money for that as well. The tour is free. For more information or if you have any questions, contact Ed Wallace at 584-9407.
