Mariposa County Poetry Out Loud finalist Sydney Jacobs submitted her performances into the California State Finals today!

Over the past two weeks, she's worked with coaches - Laura Phillips, our local teaching artist and Megan Levad, a County newcomer, poet and professor - deepening poetry understanding and refining recitations in preparation. We're incredibly impressed by Sydney and know she'll represent Mariposa well.

State Finalists will be announced March 15 - stay tuned!

Have you picked up a packets from Seed Share yet? With Spring right around the corner, now is the time to plant your California natives!
⠀
Kaiya Wellcome collected hers after school - she's pretty stoked to sow seeds along the creek bed at her family home and says she'll be watching for bees, butterflies and other pollinators as they grow. Kaiya also helped restock packets, so be sure to take one or two before this installation closes. Find it along the Mariposa Creek Parkway at Stroming Rd and 8th St. downtown.
⠀
Seed Share, a #CreativePlacemaking demonstration project, invites locals to help restore native landscapes, marks the Creek Parkway expansion, and is a part of our larger effort to:
⠀
🌱 Restore the creek corridor and local properties with native riparian plants
⠀
🐝 Animate the creek with the native wildlife species (pollinators especially) that are attracted to and sustained by the habitate.
⠀
💡Prompt ideas about additional creative placemaking projects that investigate the landscape's role in our sense of place.
