City staff invites volunteers to McCants food‑forest planting; resiliency training set for Oct. 21
Summary
Staff announced a volunteer food‑forest planting at McCants on Oct. 18 and a resilience training at City Hall on Oct. 21 with state and university partners; both events include opportunities for public participation and continuing education credit for officials.
City staff invited volunteers to help plant a food forest at McCants on Saturday, Oct. 18 and encouraged commissioners and residents to participate.
"We're planting about 400 plants that day," staff member Emma said, summarizing volunteer signups and an early‑shift setup window for volunteers. She said earlier sign‑ups indicated high interest and that residents should expect drop‑in opportunities for later shifts.
Staff also announced a resilience training session on Oct. 21 at City Hall featuring staff from the South Carolina Office of Resiliency and guests including Catherine Minh, watershed coordinator for the Santee River Basin, and Adelaide Bates from Furman University. The session will provide continuing education credit and a staff‑provided dinner, staff said.
