PRESCRIBED BURN SCHEDULED FOR BARNUM PARK
Barnum Park natural areas will be treated with a prescribed ecological burn in mid to lateMarch, weather dependent The Birmingham Fire Department has issued a permit for this burn to be conducted. The safe and carefully controlled ecological burns will be completed by David Borneman LLC, a contractor with over 30 years of professional experience David Borneman LLC has completed burns in the City's native plant and prairie areas for the past five years, at Barnum, Booth and Quarton Lake parks.
Why burn? Historically, fire was a regular and frequent component of our landscape in the Midwest The fires stimulated many plant species to grow more vigorously and discouraged others that did not adapt to the heat from the fire. Today, many non-native plant species have invaded our natural fire-adapted ecosystems, decreasing the diversity of native plants and animals. By bringing fire back to these sites we encourage the competitive advantage that native species have evolved with and restore the site to its former ecological health.
If you have specific questions about prescribed burning, please visit RestoringNatureWithFire com or contact David Borneman LLC at Dave@Restoring-Nature com or 734-845-0634.

BIRMINGHAM GREEN
BY NICHOLAS J. DUPUIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
To wrap up the series on tips to reduce consumption and minimize waste, we saved an important topic for last. When it comes to conversations regarding sustainability or “going green,” one cannot escape the devastating effect of single use plastics.
As defined by the Natural Resources Defense Council, single-use plastics are goods that are made primarily from fossil fuel–based chemicals (petrochemicals) and are meant to be disposed of right after use often, in mere minutes Single-use plastics are most commonly used for packaging and service ware, such as bottles, wrappers, straws, and bags.
Single-use plastics are a glaring example of the problems with throwaway culture. Instead of investing in quality goods that will last, we often prioritize convenience over durability and consideration of long-term impacts Although plastic recycling is widely available, most of our discarded plastic ends up in landfills or elsewhere in the environment. When left to degrade, plastics do not really break down; they just break up Over time, sun and heat slowly turn plastics into smaller and smaller pieces until they eventually become what are known as microplastics, the consequences of which could be an article of its own. In addition to this harmful result, plastic also lingers in our natural spaces and water bodies, which has a hugely detrimental effect on wildlife and precious natural resources.
It is within the power of the individual consumer to effect real change by making efforts to utilize reusable bags, containers, bottles and utensils, talk to your neighbors and business community, and make conscious purchasing decisions Remember, the most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.

THINK TWICE BEFORE VAPING
BY THE BIRMINGHAM BLOOMFIELD COMMUNITY COALITION
According to Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition’s (BBCC)
December 2022 Substance Use and Mental Health survey of over 4,000 7th12th students in Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills Public Schools, by 12th grade 1 in 5 students reported using vapes over the past year A couple other key points include:
Vaping nicotine or THC is one of the top 3 substances used by our 9th-12th grade students ·From a mental health standpoint, students who reported feeling sad or depressed; irritated or easily annoyed; angry or lost their temper; and/or felt nervous, anxious or scared most of the time or all of the time during the past 30 days were more likely to turn to vaping as a way to cope with these uncomfortable feelings.
RISKS
So, what are the risks? Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive Nicotine exposure during adolescence can:
Harm brain development, which continues until about age 25
Impact learning, memory, and attention
Increase risk for future addiction to other drugs
Vape and E-cigarette aerosol is NOT harmless, even though it is marketed this way – directly to young people. As a result, many teens believe that vaping is not harmful, and that it is just water vapor. In fact, this aerosol can contain harmful substances including:
Nicotine
Cancer-causing chemicals
Volatile organic compounds
Ultrafine particles
Flavorings that have been linked to lung disease
Heavy metals such as nickel, tin, and lead
Physical effects are not the only concern. Many studies have shown a direct correlation between vaping and mental health Specifically, nicotine, which is in most vapes, can worsen anxiety symptoms, and amplify feelings of depression.
To learn more, BBCC’s two most recent e-news editions include:
1) Vaping facts/trends/tips/resources and insights from our YAB teens.
2) Vaping tips/resources to support you and your teen, and more YAB teen insights.
BBCC has brought the powerful story of Daniel Ament, 20-year-old Wayne State University student from Grosse Pointe, who received a double lung transplant when he was just 16 as a result of his vaping So far over 700 students and staff have heard Daniel in 2023 at various Birmingham and Bloomfield schools
