Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy Miller Woods. \nPlant Sale \n\nCome get your plant fix and get some new plants in the ground before the winter rains.\nWe will have a variety of native plants available for sale!\n\nHarvest Exchange \n\nThis year\, we are teaming up with Edible Landscapes of Yamhill County and their annual Fall Harvest Exchange! If you have extra fruits or veggies\, bring them to trade or donate.\nEdible Landscapes is also bringing their ever-popular apple cider press! Enjoy some non-alcoholic cider while you peruse the veggies and native plants.\nSwap your preserved foods\, too! Jams\, jellies\, canned salsa\, pickled veggies… Whatever you have too much of\, bring by for a trade. Note that we have not inspected any kitchens\, swap at your own risk.\nPick up a pumpkin! Early October is plenty of time to carve and enjoy your pumpkin before Halloween. Pumpkins are priced by size\, and all proceeds go to support Edible Landscapes and their mission of improving food security in Yamhill County\, one garden at a time.\n\nSeed Swap \n\nBring your seeds and trade with friends\, old and new\, at the seed swap!\nPlease bring your seeds in a labeled container/envelope.\nWe will have some envelopes available for you to use to take new seeds home\, but you’re welcome to bring your own.\nNative plant seeds and edible plant seeds are welcome\, but no invasive species please!\nThe seed swap is free at the discretion of people who bring seeds.\nUnfortunately\, we are unable to guarantee the seeds at the seed swap. It’s impossible for us to completely keep track of who is bringing what\, if the seeds in the container are labeled accurately\, or the age/viability of the seeds. Participation in the seed swap is at your own risk.\n\nCommunity Partners \n\nOutdoor Education Adventures\nFriends of the Library\nYamhill County Master Gardeners\n…and more!

This option complies with Oregon Public Meeting and Records Law requirements\, by allowing the public to hear the discussion and deliberation of district business. \nJoin Phone Conference Call \n\nCall:1-916-750-5446\nEnter PIN: ‪249-202-711‬#\n\nJoin Google Meet Video Conferencing \nhttps://meet.google.com/iou-dpps-zsq \nMeeting Facilitation \nThe board chair will be facilitating the meeting. The chair will instruct those talking on the phone to identify themselves and follow the district’s normal meeting rules and procedures. \nFor board members or others involved in agenda items\, please present information or motions clearly so district staff can accurately record the appropriate information for the minutes. \nScope of Agenda\nThe board will limit the agenda to essential business items that are needed for operations and to fulfill requirements. The agenda will be focused primarily on topics that need board action. Updates and discussion on projects or district activities that do not require board action will be postponed to a future meeting. \nConservation Partners Reports/Updates\nThe district typically provides an opportunity for conservation partner updates. To save time and limit the need for verbal updates\, the district suggests conservation partners submit written reports to the district. If conservation partners need time for a short verbal update\, the chair requests brevity. Written reports may be emailed to allison@yamhillswcd.org \nPublic Comment\nAs with all board meetings\, there will be opportunity for public comment. Public comment is typically limited to five minutes\, unless the chair provides an extension of time. As a reminder\, public comment may be submitted in writing. This option allows members of the public to provide comments to the extent desired\, without a five-minute limitation. \nSummary\nThank you for considering the use of the conference call for the upcoming District Board Meeting to help the district ensure public safety. If you have questions about the meeting and use of the conference call option\, please contact Allison at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting at 503-583-8551.
