The kick off party is on to recruit bloggers for The World's Biggest Blog Party. Organizers - including local motivational speaker Tim Richardson (Link...) and friends - are looking for 1,000 people from around the world who will use blogging to raise at least a million dollars for organizations that have a global reach. How’s that for a lofty goal?

The Little River Watershed Association and the University of Tennessee Environmental Landscape Design Lab (sponsored by ALCOA Foundation) are presenting a "Streams Done Right: Picnic Seminar" series.

The program will teach about managing stream buffers and what native plant species can be used to protect and preserve stream habitats on your property.

Sam Rogers, Landscape Architect and Associate Professor of Plant Sciences and Director of the Environmental Landscape Design Lab at UTK will lead the seminars.

There are four seminars scheduled: September 12th, 19th, 22nd, and 26th, each starting at noon. The seminars will be at Springbrook Park, the site of a recent demonstration project. A free picnic lunch will be provided for up to 30 attendees.

Contact the Little River Watershed Association at 980-2130 to make a reservation.
