Washington County.- 2 pm: Nordic Center in Lake Elmo Park <br />Reserve. Register Here. <br />Pothole Season is upon us <br />A pothole is a depression or hollow in a road surface, <br />caused by ground water and traffic. <br />Potholes form when water seeps into tiny cracks in the <br />road surface, usually caused by traffic. When this water <br />freezes it expands and then when it thaws, it gets <br />smaller. This makes the cracks larger, further <br />weakening the road and increasing the amount of water <br />that can get under the surface. As the road surface <br />weakens, traffic breaks it up to create a small hole, <br />which expands as more traffic passes over. <br />Need some help from our public works team? <br />Report a pothole here. <br />The Old Village Gardens Project <br />Join Connect Lake Elmo on Thursday, April 3, at <br />the Lake Elmo Library from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. <br />to review proposed designs and learn more about <br />project objectives, timeline, and the maintenance <br />plan. Treats provided! <br />Connect Lake Elmo <br />Coming up at Sallie Manzara <br />Interpretive Nature Center <br />Here are some things that are coming up at <br />the SMINC: <br />• We will be boiling sap down to syrup this <br />weekend! Starting Friday, March 28, at 8 <br />a.m., our friend Paul Red Elk and a team of <br />volunteers will be syruping at the SMINC. <br />Stop by during regular business hours to <br />check it out, take in the aroma, and ask <br />questions if you’re curious. <br />• Summer hours begin Monday, March 31st. <br />Until the leaves start to fall again, we’ll be <br />open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. <br />to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 11 to 3. <br />• Tim Clemens from Ironwood Foraging will <br />be here for two classes: an Intro to Foraging <br />class on April 10 (6 p.m.) and an Edible <br />Native Plant Gardening class on April 22 (6 <br />p.m.) Each class is $45, but you walk away <br />with much helpful knowledge, and you can’t <br />put a price on that! <br />• We’re celebrating Earth Day with a <br />reseeding event on Saturday, April 19th. <br />Over the last several years, we’ve been <br />concentrating on removing buckthorn from <br />the park. Now, we’re ready to shift gears and <br />plant native grasses in select areas that have <br />been cleared. Many places will see the <br />natural regrowth of native wildflowers and <br />grasses simply by removing the buckthorn, <br />and it won’t need reseeding. <br />• Save the date! Our spring fundraiser will be <br />on Tuesday, May 6, at 6 p.m. at the Lake <br />Elmo Inn Event Center. Our featured speaker <br />this year will be award-winning photographer <br />Layne Kennedy. <br />Join us to celebrate Earth Day on April 19th <br />at 9:30! <br />Visit Sallie Manzara Interpretive Nature
