COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM

https://www.facebook.com/forestburgcommunitiesinbloom/

The Village of Forestburg has been involved in some capacity with Communities in Bloom since 1998.  Success in the program came early with Forestburg winning the NATIONAL COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM CHAMPIONSHIP in 1999.  However, the real success has been the way the community consistently shows its spirit by establishing attractive private and public spaces that are a pleasure to live in year round.

In the past few years Forestburg has participated in the non-competitive/mentoring category of the CIB program.  There are eight criteria for the program:  tidiness, environmental effort, community involvement, heritage, urban forestry, landscaped areas, floral arrangements and turf areas.  The local committee, in cooperation with the municipality, the agricultural society and the community at large strives to maintain high standards in all of these areas.

Volunteers are always welcome and needed to help keep our community welcoming and attractive.  Weekly work bees every Monday night at 6:30 pm starting May through September.  It is an enjoyable way to meet and visible people and to get to know the community.  No commitment necessary.

Questions about the committee and the work we do?  Please call Monica Northey at 780-385-8955.
