Community volunteer projects which Mad City MINI is invited to participate in have been added to the calendar of events.  This year we have two events currently planned which include a prairie planting on April 18 and a seed collection on October 10.

~Please email madcitymini@ gmail.com if you plan on participating so we can provide an appropriate amount of supplies and extras~
**Earth Day Challenge: As part of the annual city-wide effort to improve and beautify Madison’s city parks, we’ll be planting prairie plants at Kennedy Park on the east side.
*Saturday, April 18, 2009
*9am-12pm
*Kennedy Park, at Retana Dr and Coach House Dr, Madison
**Note: Located between Stoughton Rd and the Interstate, and between Milwaukee St and Cottage Grove Rd… unless you’re familiar with the neighborhood, map it to find it easily.

Mad City MINI will be adding volunteer projects to the calendar of
events to help out a few times a year in the community.  The first
projects will be environmental, and advance sign-up is required.  If
you will attend one or both, post your RSVP here.  If you can't make
these, there will be more planned in the spring.

**Seed Collection: Working with Madison City Parks to collect seeds
for future prairie plantings
*Saturday, October 11, 2008
*12pm-3pm
*Owen Conservation Park, 6021 Old Sauk Rd., Madison
**NOTE: Wear work gloves and old shoes, and avoid wearing softer
materials (like sweat pants) which will pick up seeds, etc. much more
than other fabrics like denim or nylon.

**Community Workday: Collaboration with Holy Wisdom Monastery
(formerly St. Benedict Center) where family-friendly activities
include planting prairie seed, removing woody invasives, hauling and
chipping brush, and splitting firewood
*Saturday, October 18, 2008
