Happy Earth Day from the Nature Park

Although Earth Day 2015 does not officially occur until Wednesday, we had a great celebration at the nature park last week. We had a great group of volunteers for these regularly scheduled cleanups on Wednesday and Saturday. I hope you can see what we accomplished from the following pictures. Thanks to Katherine, Michael, David, Rick, Candy, the girl scouts and everyone else who has been helping out. Special shout-out to the local girl scouts (I cannot remember your Troop No. but you know who you are) who have contributed so much to the park over the last couple of years. You have really made it a better place. (And I love the new paths you created on Saturday!)
