Hi Tom, I'd be glad to write an article about Greensprings for this series. We have a couple of "Signs of Sustainability" that are new this year: A federal USDA/Natural Resources Conservation Service grant contract to conserve and improve grassland habitat for grassland bird species; and a partnership agreement with EcoVillage establishing a special burial section just for them. We've also been cooperationg with the Lab of Ornithology's Spring Field Ornithology class the last three years (including this year) to have them stage their Arnot Forest field trips (2nd weekend in May) from Greensprings. Let me know what openings you have left, and I'll select one--and put it on my claendar so I don't forget! --Joel
