Hi Folks:
Good news! We received the official letter that our proposal, "Pitchers for the Public!" will be funded. The final rubber stamp committee meets next Tuesday. The grant of $56,500, from the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation, will pay 50% of the cost of purchasing the 14 acre Gatewood/Wilson tract and pay off the note on 3 acre Sheridan tract as part of our Central Virginia Preserve. See 2009 newsletter for details.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.

Hi Folks:
Very busy spring for us at Meadowview. We completed hardwood removal on the 3 acre tract of the Central Virginia Preserve in April, funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region Duff McDuff Green, Jr. grant. Over 10 square meters of basal area hardwood was removed and the cord-wood is now stacked and drying for use by our outdoor wood furnace this fall. The furnace heats greenhouse, operations center, and domestic hot water.
The hardwood removal took almost a week to complete by a crew of 5 and still required additional volunteer labor to finish. The results are quite satisfactory and we'll be posting photographs soon.
We now have two interns at Meadowview, Ian Walker and Alex Petzke, with a third coming on board in June. I'll keep you posted on details.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.
