Topic 3 Tightwad Hill Planting

               So some people signed up (not everyone) and right now the best days look like Tuesday 1-3 and Wednesday 1-3

Rodrigo asks about getting other people involved outside of forestry and Julia agrees and says that people that live in co-ops or frats should see if people want to come help and that we should have forestry club interact with other people.  Certain members disagree. Once we have set dates we will send out a sign-up sheet to sign up for the times you will be going.

Here is a link to the doodle poll to fill out times you are available:
