title
Request for approval to accept from Sarah Shaikh the donation of assorted native plants, valued at $200, to be planted at Kleb Woods Nature Preserve as part of a Girl Scout Gold Award project.
end
Background and Discussion:
Sarah Shaikh, a Girl Scout with Troop 13467, will donate and plant assorted native plants to Kleb Woods Nature Preserve as her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Kleb Woods has been affected by invasive species, weeds, and plant damage caused by natural disasters. These conditions have reduced the biodiversity of the space, making it harder for native plants, pollinators, and wildlife to thrive.
This Gold Award project will focus on removing the damaged and invasive plants and then planting a variety of native species to restore the area's natural balance and promote a healthier ecosystem.
Expected Impact:
The donated plants will serve to replace damaged and invasive plants with a variety of native species to restore the area's natural balance and promote a healthier ecosystem.
Alternative Options:
Not approving this donation would result in a missed opportunity to restore native plant species at Kleb Woods.
