Wilde Lake Dredging to Begin Soon
John McCoy, CA Watershed Manager, recently informed us that CA will begin dredging Wilde Lake in early November. The project will last 6-8 weeks and should be completed by the end of the year. Watch for a barge and boats in the lake and dump trucks in the Barn parking lot. CA will be posting signs near the lake and parts of the pathway will be temporarily re-routed on to Hyla Brook Road. We will post additional information as we receive it from CA. In the meantime, feel free to contact John at John.McCoy@columbiaassociation.org or 410/312-6336.

Renew.Rehab.Replace. - A workshop focused on the conserving of Columbia’s tree canopy
The workshop will be held on Saturday morning October 28, 2017 at The Other Barn, Oakland Mills Village Center, from 9:30 to 12 noon.
This final workshop in our series − Renew, Rehab, Restore − will focus on Columbia's leafy streetscape. Few people know how to care for our beautiful tree canopy. Because of disease and age, our street trees are disappearing at an alarming rate. Additionally, homeowners are removing and not always replacing the mature trees in their yards and street frontages. Over time this will seriously and negatively affect the unique character of our streets and neighborhoods.
Mike Greenberg, an arborist and Oakland Mills resident, along with John McCoy from CA and Bob Gorman, a landscape architect and former partner of Land Design Research and Mahan Rykiel Associates, will offer solutions to these and other issues. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of the added financial value of trees in pricing homes for sale as well as current programs to conserve and replace Columbia’s tree canopy.
The workshop will be held on Saturday morning October 28, 2017 at The Other Barn, Oakland Mills Village Center, from 9:30 to 12 noon. Free and open to the public.
Rsvp to: manager@oaklandmills.org or call Sandy Cederbaum, Village Manager at 410-730-4610.
