Stewards of Bete Grise Preserve to meet Apr. 2

HOUGHTON -- Stewards of Bete Grise Preserve (SBGP) will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Apr. 2, in the UPPCO Building in Houghton.

During the March meeting, and since then on email, members have been discussing the design for a logo. The agenda for the Apr. 2 meeting will include discussion of sales items to produce with the logo. 20% of proceeds would go to stewardship projects for Bete Grise Preserve. The group also hopes to to formulate a Mission Statement at this meeting.

Other items discussed at the March meeting included the possibility of having a table with sales items (T-shirts, hats, etc.) at the Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District Tree Sale May 1-2. This would be a fundraising opportunity and would raise awareness of SBGP. Members also hope to continue discussion of a potential summer picnic at Bete Grise and to set a date for it.

The meeting is open to interested person and new members.
