Monthly Meetup

As usual, this meeting will be an open lab time where we will work on projects. Come with ideas for projects, things you may have already started, or we'll try to match you up with an already existing project or idea.

Please comment below any ideas or projects you might want to work on.

Come meet the folks at Brewing a Better Forest http://opentwincities.org/images/posts/2015/02/brewing-a-better-forest.jpg

This month we're excited to welcome Brewing a Better Forest (http://www.brewingabetterforest.com/) to Open Twin Cities to talk about their organization and their civic tech project. Brewing a Better Forest's mission is to create a better urban forest by blending a passion for trees with a passion for excellent craft beer.

Brewing a Better Forest is an emerging group of arborists and tree lovers who are passionate about trees and craft beer in the Twin Cities. The crew at Brewing a Better Forest strives to engage and encourage residents to notice, appreciate, and help water newly planted city trees. We are currently working with local craft brewers to help us spread the word of the importance of watering trees during their first few years on our boulevard. We're asking Minneapolis residents to Adopt-A-Tree, and enjoy a beer on us!
