Here’s the link: <br /><a href="" rel="nofollow">http://plants.alaska.gov/pdf/2015EBC.pdf”>http://plants.alaska.gov/pdf/2015EBC.pdf</a>. <br /><br />Check with local plant or flower clubs, botanical gardens nearby, or the agricultural extension service near you. They might be able to help you gather allies before going to your elected officials. <br /><br />Good luck.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498066938213558757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-51335601388099085802019-07-11T15:01:11.860-08:002019-07-11T15:01:11.860-08:00Each year, the cottonwoods around us are shedding ...Each year, the cottonwoods around us are shedding more and for a longer period. Today, July 7, they have been shedding for more than a month, (they began in May). They go away for awhile, (we clean our screens and wash them off our deck) and then they come back! Today, the particles in the air are so tiny, they are impossible not to breath in. I have already had two sinus infections. Unfortunately, the cottonwoods that plague our home are not on our property. They grow all along the creeks in our area, some on private property, some not. I am desperate! Is there a model for community clean up or prevention? I would appeal to our township, but I wouldn't begin to know what to say.<br />Rog and Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260729616402401535noreply@blogger.com
