MIFLIN, Ala. — The Wolf Bay Watershed Watch will hold a fall plant, trash and treasure sale this week at the Miflin Community Center to raise money for their group.

At the sale will be various plants including citrus trees, knockout roses, encore azaleas and native perennials. All have been grown by the group themselves or purchased from local vendors.

“These plants are at bargain, basement prices,” Executive Director Stan Mahoney said. “Everything at the trash and treasure sale will be affordable as well.”

The items for the trash and treasure sale have been made available by the members of the group and the community. Appliances, tools, collectibles and furniture will be available for purchase.

“Our members have cleaned out their garages and attics,” he said. “Plus, we take items from people in the community who may not want to have a yard sale. We store the items until its time for the event. There’s something for everyone.”

The watch group, hopes to raise money for an electronic water testing equipment.

“The old testing equipment was about $200,” Mahoney said. “The new equipment is around $3,700, but its more efficient. You just stick the probe in the water and get a reading which can be downloaded right onto our computer.”

Many of the funds raised will also go toward outreach programs, education, and future projects.

“We are looking into purchasing some land to preserve,” President Wanda Ramos said. “But we haven’t gotten all of our ducks in a row just yet.”

The group is careful to keep the entire event environmentally sound.

“We try to recycle everything we have,” she said. “We take very little back to the dump.”

Beyond this fundraising effort, the members of the watch group have a busy schedule ahead them. They will be partnering with Auburn University to conduct studies in the area as well as working on the new scenic byway for which the group secured the grant for.

“We come together for a purpose,” Ramos said. “And that is to save our bay. We finally have outstanding Alabama water and we plan to keep it that way.”

The plant sale will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The trash and treasure sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday. Both events will be at the Miflin Community Center.
