5:30 - 6:30 p.m

This meeting will be presented via Zoom

We will share the “Year in Review," annual financial report, our ideas (and yours) for relevant and interesting programming for 2025 and board election results. 

Please email comments or questions before meeting  at: [email protected]. 

However, there will also be a 15 minute opportunity to make public comments at the end of the meeting.

Seed sowing in a container is an inexpensive way to start growing seeds outdoors in the winter through early spring. Learn how to start vegetables and native plants with this no fuss method in your own yard. You will leave with your own seed starting container and seeds to get you started! 

There will also be a seed swap! Bring seeds that you would like to share in labeled envelopes or paper bags. Include the name of the plant, growing conditions and year it was harvested. As well as sharing with other plant lovers, the Galena Public Library would be happy to take contributions for their seed library! 

This program will be presented by members of the Wild Ones Tri-State Driftless chapter and Jess Carryer, owner of Dropseed Farm. 

Registration is required. There will be a registration link provided by the Galena Library in February. Please visit the library website at: https://galenalibrary.org/

Light pollution affects more than our Dark Night enjoyment of the stars and planets. It affects our physical and mental health, safety and is energy and cost inefficient. Light pollution causes amphibian, bird and insect injury and death, contributing significantly to current bird and insect decline. 

Our presenter, Adam Kreuzer, is a delegate from the International Dark Sky Association. Before volunteering to be a delegate, Adam was the Chair of the Glen Ellyn Environmental Commission and has advocated for the Sierra Club. He continues to advocate for the environment, including the skies above.
