Collect milkweed seeds for conservation
In cooperation with the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, soil and water conservation districts encourage everyone to collect common Milkweed pods from established plants through Nov. 15. It is best to pick the seed pods when they appear dry, gray, or brown in color before they pop open. If the center seam pops with gentle pressure this indicates that they are ready to be picked. Seed pods can be stored in paper bags, labeled with the county from which they came, the date and species collected, if not common milkweed.
Mature pods can be dropped off at the Wood Soil and Water Conservation District, 1616 E. Wooster St. Suite 32, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Oak Grove Cemetery decoration reminder
In preparation for the winter season, the cemetery maintenance crew will be removing all decorations from Oak Grove Cemetery. The exception would be winter grave blankets that have previously been placed on graves.
Bowling Green’s director of public works requests that all other decorations be removed from Oak Grove Cemetery prior to Monday.
