Our second meeting of the OCVN Holmes County chapter met November 12th. Excellent turnout. Seventeen in attendance. Leslie Harrold gave us a great primer on toxic plants!
We enjoyed having two OCVNers from Ashland Co. join us, as well! We hope they'll continue to attend our meetings and be part of the group! Lot's of volunteer opportunities were shot around the room, and educational opportunities were shouted out as well. So many I wasn't able to write everything down quickly enough. I hope we'll be able to get some of these listed on the web page.
Next month (December 10th at 7:00 p.m.) we'll be having Gary Popotnik from The Wilderness Center speak on Invasives. We'll start the meeting with Gary's talk and then have the business part of the meeting, afterward.
Brief Bio on Gary from TWC's web site.

He is a native of Willowick, Ohio and graduated from Eastlake North High School in 1973. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in wildlife biology and a Master of Science degree in biology from California University of Pennsylvania.
