Green Team
An Earth Care Congregation since 2014
The slope by the ramp
In 2014 members replaced the grass on the slope beside our ramp with native plants. It’s fully grown now, and monarch caterpillars show up on the butterfly weed every summer. In 2016 we registered a Monarch Waystation.
Neighbors pitch in
A $2,500 environmental grant from the 495 Express Lanes helped pay for the work. Members, neighbors and local Scouts have all helped. The Green Team also hosts film screenings and talks; in 2017 NOAA scientist Dr. Mark Eakin showed Chasing Coral, the Sundance winner he advised.
