A Tisket, A Tasket, A Recycled Trinket Basket

By Lisa Gerwulf

On Saturday, October 15th from 1:00 - 3:00 P.M. the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center will host a hands-on, recycling project. Baskets will be made utilizing a plastic, pop bottle bottom as the base. Then "plarn" (plastic yarn) and pop can tabs will create a decorative edge around the top. Basic sewing skills are needed to complete the project. A great program for scout groups! Participants are asked to pre-register by Thursday, October 13 at (563) 328-3286.

The Wapsi River Environmental Education Center can be found 6 miles south of Wheatland or 1 mile northwest of Dixon, Iowa by taking County Road Y4E. Then turn north at 52ndAvenue and follow the signs for about 1 mile.
