Highland Conservancy E-Newsletter May, 2007
 
Two important events are coming up next week. We hope you can join us so please mark your calendar.  
 
HIGHLAND PARADE – SAT. MAY 19 
The wonderful small-town Hi-White Parade will take place this coming Saturday May 19th down Livingston Road and ending at the Highland Senior Center.  The Highland Conservancy will be co-grand marshals along with the Highland Equestrian Conservancy who are also taking part.  What a wonderful honor!  WE NEED VOLUNTEERS – if you could volunteer, we will be setting up our booth at 8:00 a.m. next to the Highland Senior Center on John Street and wrapping 500 red pine tree seedlings to pass out after the parade.  We also need folks to join us in marching in the parade to help hand out coupons for the trees and candy.  So bring your dog, children, friends and come march with us.  Marchers for the parade will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Church of the Nazarene parking lot on Livingston Road just south of M59.  The parade starts at 10:00 a.m.  VOLUNTEERS WILL GET A FREE T-SHIRT (yes, even your dog can wear one in the parade!) and you’ll get a tree – so please join us and come get your free tree

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE WORKSHOP – WEDS. MAY 23 7:00pm
Highland, Michigan - The Highland Conservancy will be hosting a multi-media presentation on Wednesday May 23 entitled “Global Climate Change: The Science and Solutions.” This event, based on an interpretation of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” will be held at 7:00PM at the Highland Township Senior Center located at 209 North John Street in Highland Station. This event is open to the general public and is free of charge. 
 
The formal portion of the program will consist of a slide/video presentation given by Dr. Kathryn Savoie. Selected from thousands of applicants, Dr. Savoie attended the first training program with Al Gore and a team of scientists and educators from The Climate Project. The Climate Project was initiated as a grass roots effort to educate and energize the public regarding the threat of global climate change. Since participating in the September 2006 training conference, Dr. Savoie has given more than 35 presentations on the subject of Global Warming throughout the state of Michigan. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and an open discussion session. 
 
Dr. Savoie received her Ph.D. in ecology from the University of Michigan in 1990, and has over 20 years experience in the environmental field.  Dr. Savoie currently serves as the Environmental Program Director for ACCESS, where she directs community-based programs in environmental education, environmental health research and advocacy for environmental justice.
