Jim Weimer, biologist at Paynes Prairie Preserve

State Park, will explain the Sweetwater

Branch Project there. Years ago a ditch was

dug to channel run-off from the City of Gainesville

into the Alachua Sink. The water and its

pollutants go directly into the Aquifer. The

Sweetwater Branch Project will restore the

natural filtering sheet flow of water into the

Prairie. A knowledgeable and enjoyable

speaker, Jim will explain how they are correcting

the problem.

    As a new member, I thoroughly enjoyed last evening’s meeting for October at Brasington Trail Shop. Kathy Malone was very informative and entertaining with her presentation on butterflies. She was very kind to bring wonderful materials to share with all of us as well as prizes for the games. Looking forward to work days and outdoor activities as well as the Butterfly Festival this weekend.
