</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I am Andrew Wicks, Environmental Outreach Coordinator for
Natural Biodiversity. Natural Biodiversity is an organization from Johnstown that is geared toward protecting our environment through citizen
engagement and education. We are co-sponsoring an initiative with Kiski-Conemaugh Stream Team called
Outdoor Heritage Month, which brings together a full slate of educational,
recreational and service events to initiate an entire year of stewardship in
the Alleghenies. Volunteers are greatly needed for Outdoor Adventures, our
primary educational event of Outdoor Heritage. In this event, over 1,000
students participate in hands-on activities and learn about watersheds,
wildlife, conservation practices, and so much more! For more information
on Outdoor Heritage and Outdoor Adventures, go to <a href="http://www.ohmonth.com">www.ohmonth.com</a>. Another
major Outdoor Heritage event is the Native Plant Fest of the Alleghenies,
scheduled for May 22. This event features plant sales, workshops for children
and adults, and a special keynote presentation from author and native plant
expert, Doug Tallamy. The event will be held in Johnstown from 10-4. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></p>

Heritage and the second discusses the Native Plant Fest. I would like to
ask you to include this information, in whole or part, in your next newsletter

these events. Your assistance is greatly appreciated! If you have
