From Santee to Santree

Volunteer to help plant trees and clean up a local park on March 17.

On March 17, Santee is turning into Santree and you can be a part of it!

is a volunteer opportunity for residents to help make a difference in our community’s aesthetic appeal. Volunteers will be making landscaping improvements in the community park, like planting trees, picking up trash and more.

About 40-50 trees will be planted in the park, according to the city website. Volunteers should bring their own gloves and shovels and be prepared to get down and dirty. Close-toed shoes should be work as you help plant greenery and remove weeds. Water will be provided for the volunteers.

Got kids? Bring them, too! Children will be kept entertained with crafts and music from bluegrass band Box Canyon. Food samples from healthy vendors will be provided to keep the hunger pangs away and to provide sustenance for the hard-working volunteers.

Santree Fest will take place rain or shine, but if the sun’s out remember that sunscreen! Those looking to lend a hand can arrive at on March 17 at 9 a.m. This is event is free for the community. Happy planting!

Anyone else recommend a Santee family owned business that's outside the city?

Where do you type what you want to view, like "Quail Brush"?

No drop down menus, just click the header links for more options. For story categories click newsRead More and look on the left hand column. I know the redesign will take a bit to get used to, but I really think it will be a better site for community engagement, and easier to use. Feel free to post your feedback to the redesign on the boards, I'll check it out and respond, but you might also send your feedback straight to Patch headquarters with this form- http://feedback.aol.com/rs/rs.php?sid=patch Engineers will be furiously tweeking the new site based on your suggestions.

The new format from my iPad is very boring. Where are the drop down menus?

this is why the battlefield has changed temporarily from the political arena to the Energy Arena.Read More Co Gen Tricks and the usual suspects are making their big money bet on two inevitable facts that will force the hand of the CPUC and CEC to place a new gas power plant somewhere in the area. 1) the Electric Vehicle Mandate. 2) voltage support (power factor) needed by the industrial wind and solar farms in the desert. There is more to what meets the eye with the aggressive push by the usual suspects to cover our open spaces in the East County with these poorly sited RE projects. More wind and solar farms means more gas power plants. There is only one way to fight the destruction of our open spaces, and that is with roof top solar, conservation, energy efficiency and community owned energy districts. The fisrt thing that needs to be done is the City of Santee exempt residential scale PV installs from needing a building permit. Australia, Germany and the State of Vermont do not require a Building Permit to install PV.

Well said Stephen! Knowledge is TRULY power! The fight is not over! Cogentrix is just onceRead More again playing their wait, wait, wait game in the public eye and playing their lobbying game behind closed doors.
