I grabbed the flyer at the community center today( I dunno if you read my comment on the other post or not) and it seems like this adopt a green space program may be just what we are looking for!
A quick summary of what it is :
We adopt a space somewhere is Santa Rosa ( Sarah B. I know you don't live here, but would you still be interested?). As a community group (Green Mommies) we would commit to that space for a whole year. We would clean it up, weed, perhaps plants some flowers and just maintain it in general. A month after adopting the site they will put up a metal sign in our space that says "This Green site adopted by Green Mommies of Santa Rosa", or something like that...
I think that this would be a GREAT experience and educational opportunity for all of our kids! It would be fun to meet up at "our" site once in a while and have a clean up day or something like that...
I am really excited about this idea, what are all of your thoughts? It doesn't have to cost any money, just a commitment of time and energy. If there is another program that everyone likes better I am all for that too, I just really like the whole concept.

I like the idea. With us in Petaluma, we may (as a family) also find something here, but we would enjoy being a part of the Santa Rosa one, too! An excuse to still get together!!!
I'm definitely up for it!
I like the idea a lot. Do you know if we would get to pick our location? I wonder if it could be close to a park or some kid friendly place.
OK, I left a message with the Program Coordinator to get more details on the "adoption" :) I will update the post as soon as she calls me back.
I like this idea a lot, especially if its something we can do with kids.
