<BR>pollinators in NYC.<BR><BR><BR><BR>><BR>> I had an
epiphany today that if someone gave me an<BR>>all-expenses-paid trip to
Vegas, I'd probably decline,<BR>>but if someone gave me an all-expenses-paid
trip to<BR>>Vegas to see the Divine Miss M, I'd say yes in
a<BR>>heartbeat.<BR>> I've always been a big fan of Bette
Midler's, and<BR>>now I'm even a bigger fan, because she spearheads
a<BR>>project to re-green New York City, and she said on an<BR>>NPR
program today that her New York Restoration<BR>>Project (not the singing, or
dancing, or acting) is<BR>>what she hopes will be her legacy. I was perusing
her<BR>>Web site this evening and came across the link below,<BR>>about
something her NYRP is part of, "The Butterfly<BR>>Project," which is designed
to bring awareness of the<BR>>benefits of having butterflies in city
environs. NYRP<BR>>even got a $10,000 city grant to develop
pollinator<BR>>curriculum to be used at various grade levels. Here
is<BR>>the link from the NYRP
site:<BR>>http://www.nyrp.org/greening/index.php?sub=3&p=3<BR>>...Deb<BR><BR>--
