Patla Bag Monster will make an appearance at Hillside’s Fall Festival If you visit The Lands at Hillside Farms during the fall festival on Oct. 5 and 6, chances are you'll get a chance to see and talk to the Bag Monster. The Bag Monster is a friendly monster whose job is to let people know what happens to the hun- dreds of plastic bags they use once and then throw away. More than one billion single-use plastic bags are used by shoppers in our coun- try every year. Whatshappens:te:all these bags? The vast majority of them end up in landfills, adding to the problem of lack of space in our landfills. A lot of bags get blown about — we see them on the side of the road, in trees and bushes. A very small percentage of plastic bags, less than 4%, are recycled. However, it costs a lot more to recycle a plastic bag than it does to make a new one. Perhaps the worst place for a plastic bag to end up is in the ocean. It is estimated that 10 percent of our plastic ends up float- ing in the ocean and on the ocean floor. This causes problems for all kinds of sea life that get tangled in the plastic bag or mistake it for food and swallow it. At the festival, the Bag Monster will join with The Lands at Hillside Farms whose mission is to teach life choices that are healthy, sustainable, conservation-minded and practical. Come and see how easy it The Bag Monster will be at the fall festival at The Lands at Hillside Farms, teaching participants the importance of recycling plastic bags. is to cut down on plastic bag use through smart and simple choices. Reusable grocery bags and metal milk carri- ers will be available for purchase, along with compact reusable bags that stow in an integrated pouch and fit easily in a pocket or purse. Let the Bag Monster know that you plan to reduce your plastic bag usage and he'd be happy to pose for a picture with you.

North Branch Land Trust recently closed on a very important land con- servation project in the Back Mountain. Even though NBLT has conserved over 13,000 acres across our region, this is the very first prop- erty conserved in the Back Mountain. The property is the Forest Echo Bird Sanctuary formerly owned by Wyoming Seminary. Forest Echo Bird Sanctuary is a priority property for protection, given its proximity to the Huntsville Reservoir and encroaching residential housing developments. The property provides direct watershed protec tion to the Huntsville Reservoir and buffers run- off from the surrounding developments. The 17-acre property, located off West Center Hill Road in Dallas Borough, will forever be a sanctuary for birds as per the wishes of the original donors, Rachel and Dr. Sarah Wyckoff. NBLT held a ribbon cutting at the sanctu- ary on Monday, Sept. 23. Kip Nygren, president of Wyoming Seminary, mem- bers of NBLT’s board of directors and the donors who made the project pos- sible were in attendance.
