WORK PARTY AT WSU BAMBOO RESEARCH GROVES

Saturday April 4, 9 am to 3 pm
Washington State University Puyallup
2606 W Pioneer Way
Puyallup WA 98371-4998

Note was 7612 Pioneer Way East last year and Google still has that address. http://tinyurl.com/d98rk9
The grove is north of Pioneer Way towards the river.

(Groves are west of downtown Puyallup. WSU campus buildings are on the
high ground south of W. Pioneer Way. The research fields and the
bamboo groves are on the bottom land north of W. Pioneer Way. Turn
north into the farmlands and park by the bamboo.)

The winter snows knocked culms down big time. Harvest season is coming
soon. We need to get the tractor paths cleared out. Bring saws,
loppers, whatever you use to prune bamboo. Wear warm clothes. It may
be raining all day. Stay dry!

We may lunch in the groves or in a car or maybe there is a farm
building open. Depends on the rain.

The American Bamboo Society Annual Convention will be held in Tacoma
in October. There will be a work shop featuring these groves. We want
them to be beautiful.

We had a good turnout for the cleanup but did not finish so there will be another cleanup on the 18th.

Groves before we started. There is a 10 ft lane somewhere in there.
