Colleagues,
Next week, the Eau Claire City Council will discuss and vote on an ordinanc
e that would allow small coops for up to five hens in residential back yard
s. If you are interested in the subject, see the proposed ordinance at h
ttp://www.ci.eau-claire.wi.us/images/stories/news/pdf/chickens_ordiance.pdf
.
If you have an opinion, see the attachment for information on how to contac
t council members.
If you have seen Food, Inc. or The World According to Monsanto, or generall
y have a sense that participating in the production of your own food is a g
ood thing, please consider making a few phone calls or sending a few emails
in support of the ordinance.
If you are at Earth Day in Owen Park this weekend, stop by the display with
the chickens to learn even more.
Thanks,
