Butterfly Meadow
When you drive into Gesher, the driveway takes a sharp left turn just before the parking lot. On the inside of that curve is our meadow. A meadow is a unique habitat that is home to certain specialized animals, such as meadowlarks, bobwhite, box turtles, butterflies, dragonflies, mice, and toads. It is also an endangered habitat, as are many of the animals that depend on it.
A meadow is not an orderly garden. Indeed, some see it as a weed patch! But it is really a very special place composed of sun-loving native grasses and wildflowers. We currently have many natives, including goldenrod, dogbane, purple-topped grass, and asters. These attract ...

Outreach to Students in Local Jewish Schools
The idea is to take a laptop connected to a projector, and go around to local schools and introduce students directly to environmental issues and in particular to jewcology.org
Students today are inundated with information from TV, radio, the Internet, text messaging, schools and family. In my experience, the only way to break through the overload is to literally chase down students and learn with them.

I need other people to join in me in contacting the schools, and making the presentations.
Even if all you can do is help plan the presentation, that would be helpful.
