We received 25 beautiful pieces of art. Please go to “Projects” and then “Iron Oxide Initiative” to see more about this exciting project with the Indiana Arts Council. We sent out dried iron oxide collected from out Tanoma AMD site to artists. They used the iron in their art and sent us their pieces. We are thrilled with the creative beautiful results. The money raised in this project will benefit the Indiana Arts Council and Evergreen Conservancy. The bids were awarded December 7th at the Indiana Arts Council’s Annual Meeting at Coventry Inn. This project was so successful we will probably do it again next year. If you, as an artist, are interested in creating something with iron oxide – please contact us and we will be happy to send you some to experiment with!
We are an all volunteer non-profit organization. We carry on with grants, donations, memberships and our fall fundraising. We searched for a way to raise money without doing and damage to the environment and following the practice to re-use, recycle, and reduce. We came up with the idea to make things to sell from recycled, renewable and reused materials that we think are pretty interesting. Check our market place!
P.S. Think about giving a gift of an Evergreen Conservancy membership to the person who has everything!
Our datalogger water monitoring project is gaining momentum as we continue installing dataloggers and training more volunteers on the data collection process in the field. We have now completed full installations on 22 datalogger water monitoring sites in Indiana county.
We also have an instructional guide for volunteers on how to correctly upload data in the field using our equipment and software. A big thanks goes to our intern Debbie Diehl for putting together this easy-to-use guide. Check it out!
If you are interested in becoming a water monitoring volunteer with this project, please contact us at info@evergreenconservancy.com. Time commitments vary, and we are always looking for rotating volunteers to come on our bi-monthly uploads when their schedule allows!
Find the link to our data on the water monitoring page.
Thank you to Karin Eller, owner of Plant-It-Earth Greenhouse in Indiana, for a generous donation of 29 plants to further beautify Tanoma AMD Wetlands!
Cindy Rogers, Debbie Diehl, and Erica Moretti planted the new cransbill, astilbe, bergenia, ajuga, columbine, and salvia plants around Tanoma’s pavilion and signs. We appreciate the community’s ongoing support to make this an inviting, dynamic outdoor space. Come take a walk and see the new plants for yourself!
