Mosquito Abatement Scheduled for June 28th
To reduce mosquito populations safely and effectively, eradicating its larvae before they become biting adults is crucial. Larvae thrive in stagnant water which is primarily why the SCA’s integrated mosquito management service treats standing water in trenches along the bike trail with a product called Spinosad, which is also derived from a naturally occurring soil bacterium. It specifically targets mosquito larvae and a few other insects once applied, it has little to no toxicity to plants, people, pets, and local wildlife. The City of Chicago Department of Public Health proactively treats storm drains with mosquito abatement. Although, we cannot eliminate mosquitos, we can certainly work together to help reduce the numbers.
4th of July Picnic – Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers to help make the 4th of July Picnic a success! We have volunteer opportunities for 7th and 8th graders (service credit available) and adults. Choose your job, choose your shift. Lots of options. Recruit a friend or two to make volunteering even more fun. We can’t offer these activities without your help!
