Lady Lions of Sierra Panel Discussion: TAPPED. (April 24, 2016)
Happy Warm Weather Everyone!
On April 18th, the Lady Lions of Sierra attended the TAPPED documentary showing at Penn State Berks. Along with us, Darree (our intern coordinator) and multiple environmental activists from the Sierra Club also attended the showing. After the showing, Rachel, Jess, and Hali two facts sheet on water extraction. We also held an informal discussion about the water extraction problem in our area and discussed how to take progressive steps towards creating awareness within our community about this massive issue. We also brought a visual display that we created the contained images from Flint, Michigan’s contaminated water supply as well as similar contaminated water issues that are currently going on in our area. Below, I have attached the two fact sheets handed out at the TAPPED showing, and also the trailer of TAPPED.
We Hope you Enjoy!

Updates from the Penn State Greenhouse – The Bee Team (April 12, 2016)
Hi everyone! It’s Alanna, Chelsea, and Damian! So far, we have only had two chances to go over to the greenhouse as a group, as the weather has not been cooperating with us. During our first meeting, we separated s
eeds and planted them, because the sunflowers would have outgrown everything else. We will hopefully be planting the sunflower seeds within the next week or so, and hopefully they will be well on their way before the semester ends.
When we went back two weeks later, we found that the seeds that we had planted started to sprout! During our second trip, we started to clean out an old garden by the Janssen Conference Center. By the time we are done, we should be replanting the seeds that we’ve started into the garden to start a new pollination garden
Other than an outrageously painful splinter in Chelsea’s thumb, our first day cleaning the garden went great! We were able to get a large amount of debris pulled out of the garden, as well as having some laughs during the process.
Damian and Alanna had another workday on April 12th, which greeted them with plenty of rain and mud! They continued cleaning out the garden, by ripping out vines, cutting back poke weed, and raking the cutoffs out of the garden for removal. We’ll be back their bright and early Thursday morning to continue cleaning as a group. We don’t mind cleaning, but we are excited to get back to planting the flowers!
Stay tuned for more to come from The “Bee” Team!
