Cindy works for Friends as our education coordinator. With the help of our volunteers and a communications class at James Madison University, we have developed a presentation,“The North Fork: My River, My Community, My Choice” that we would like to present to your group. Cindy has made up a schedule for 2010 and would love to be a part of your next meeting!
In addition to Cindy’s presentation we are also offering a series of workshops in partnership with the Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation Department.
Come and take part in these wonderful workshops to learn about things that you can do in your own yard to help the river and the environment!

Make and Take Your Own Compost Barrel with Friends and Natural Art Garden Center
When: Thursday April 28, 2011 from 6 - 8:30 pm
Where: Natural Art Garden Center in Toms Brook, VA.
27358 Old Valley Pike
No experience necessary for this workshop where you will build your own rotating compost bin using a large recycled barrel and a wooden stand. All hardware, tools, supplies and instructions will be supplied to help you build a backyard compost bin that you can take home and use the same day. Composting helps you save money by making your own organic garden fertilizer and it is part of the three R’s of recycling: reducing, reusing and recycling kitchen and yard waste; and best of all it keeps waste out of the landfills.
12 and up may attend. Those under 18 should have a parent or guardian present. More than one person or a family can attend at one cost if they are working on the same Compost Bin.
Visit www.scpr.info to register on-line with Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation or call their office at 540-984-3030.
