Filed under: Troy News — Dave Lambert @ 6:00 am

From Troy’s Community Affairs Department…

River Day, the annual celebration of the Clinton River’s fantastic resources, has been set for Saturday, June 7 from 9 am-1 pm at Jaycee Park, on Long Lake between Rochester and John R. The City is continuing its tradition of helpful activities for adult and student volunteers who want to maintain and improve the natural balance of the Clinton River.

Be sure to wear your yard work clothes! Participants will be putting in native plants along the streambank, removing invasive species, performing woody debris management, picking up litter and more. A free barbecue lunch will be served to all volunteers.

“Taking part in River Day gives us all the opportunity to make a small difference in our local ecosystem which improves the overall health of the environment,” Jennifer Lawson, the City’s Environmental Specialist, said.

The Community Center is located at 3179 Livernois. Volunteers should park register at the picnic shelter in the back of the park. Register by calling Jennifer Lawson at 248.524.3381.

Public Invited to Discuss Museum Expansion

Filed under: Troy News — Dave Lambert @ 6:00 am

From Troy’s Community Affairs Department…

Residents are invited to an opportunity to meet with architects and site planners from Hopkins Burns Design Studios and JJR, who are developing the new site plan for the expanded Troy Museum. This event, entitled “Greening the Village Green,” will be held on Wednesday, May 28, from 6-8 pm in the Old Troy Church.

Discussion will revolve around LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) technologies that can be utilized during the museum expansion to create a more sustainable, energy efficient facility. Many of these technologies can also be utilized in businesses and homes in order to create an environmentally-friendly existence that future generations will be able to enjoy as well.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended. Please call 248.524.3570 to reserve your spot. The Troy Museum is located at 60 W. Wattles Rd. (NW corner of Wattles and Livernois). For more information, call Loraine Campbell at 248.524.3301.
