Another big Thank You to all contributors to the NLT Habitat Restoration project to give wild flowers a chance in a small corner of Fearrington. The deer fence is in place. If you have missed this or would like an update, see www.nltrewilding.blogspot.com.

Many FV residents have noted the bad taste of the drinking water, diagnosed by the water company to be due to excessive blue green algae in Jordan Lake. We are among communities whose waste water feeds Jordan Lake and here are some ways we can all help:

• Don’t flush chemicals, oil, grease and food scraps down the drain.
• Limit the use of all garden chemicals and if used, make sure they are incorporated in the soil and cannot run off into streams.
• Don’t wash cars on paved areas.
• Limit water use.

Adopt-a-Highway Seeks New Coordinators

Beverly and Ray Andrews are stepping down from their coordinator positions at the end of May 2013. 

We have been proud to serve in this capacity since January 2006 here in Fearrington Village. We have accumulated some very cherished photos of the various volunteers taking care of our community over more than half a decade. This spirit of community involvement is what makes up the character of Fearrington Village.

We are still seeking a new coordinator or coordinators to begin on June 01, 2013. Anyone interested in taking over as coordinator(s) of the AAH group here should direct their correspondence to the FHA Director of Community Affairs, Deborah DiSabatino This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .  

Bev and I will assist the person chosen in acclimating themselves to this position and both of us plan to continue to work with AAH as volunteers of a very worthwhile civic endeavor.

Knit Blitz Along Creekwood Trail

• 
• 

A crazy yarn art has gone global and there is an exhibit here in Fearrington. A “Knit Blitz” (a.k.a. “knit bombing” and “knit graffiti”) is taking the domestic art of knitting to the outside world by covering objects in knitted garments. From Paris to Prague to Philadelphia -- trees, statues, fences, lamp posts, benches and even tanks and buses have been covered with creative and colorful creations. Four Fearrington teams worked for many months on different designs that you will find amusing, joyful and heart-warming. Look for their whimsical creations on trees along the Creekwood Trail. Artists’ names are on each tree. Maps locating the installations, including background information on the project, are now available at the Gathering Place. Be sure not to miss a very special surprise project in the northeast section of Camden Park.
