You can help to keep our community trash-free by joining the Eel River Clean-up Project tomorrow, and now, every Thursday. Join ERCP tomorrow at 9:30am at the Garberville Vet’s Park, across from Dazey’s, to help keep Southern Humboldt roadsides trash free.
You are invited to tune in to KMUD tonight from 7 to 8 for Homegrown Tomatoes with Bettye and Nadine. You may call 707-923-3911 to join the conversation about all things gardening. That’s Homegrown Tomatoes tonight between 7 and 8 pm only on KMUD.
This Thursday, 9am, tune in for The Choice is Yours about Avocados. From the Central American Jungles 11000 years ago to the Super Bowl, the avocado has become an essential part of our diet, and seem to be a very healthy choice. But we need to talk about deforestation and soil degradation of such a monoculture. We are taking a trip to the hills of Michuacan cartels’ lands… Come with us, Thursday 9 to 10am, with Doro, Dani and Sheila. The Choice is Yours.
This concludes the Community Safety and Awareness Report, read weekdays at 11 and 3pm and as needed to bring you up to the minute road reports, burn permission status, emergency updates as well as programming information. We encourage our listeners to bookmark our community resources and calendar page for up to date and detailed information of all the services our community offers.
