Hello,
There is currently old equipment and supplies along the riverbank at Plant Science Field Station (The Point). These items are needing to be moved because of the instability of the riverbank.
Please identify if any of the equipment or supplies that is from your group by December 19 and your plans to remove the equipment and supplies if you are not able to do so before December 19th.
Thank you,
Emily

All,
About two months ago we requested to remove all materials along the riverbank from behind all buildings at the Point. A tour last week and a reminder from Physical Plant indicates we have not started the cleanup. Winter is here (or so it seems) and we will need to have it cleared by the end of the month. If you have any materials stored or dumped in these areas., please remove. I am attempting to get bins for recyclable metals to the Point to help with the clean up.

Hi everyone,
This email is about the Bio-bar supply center from Fisher. Fisher decided to shut-down the facility permanently effective from November 11,2022.

Please fill in the information regarding the product you need and email me by Monday 7,2022.As of today, I already filled items I need.
