On Saturday June 1st, 2024, 17 Volunteers worked to contribute a total of 57 hours to help keep the verdent woodland adjacent to Lake Mansfield a healthy habitat for native plant species. Some of our team have volunteered many times before, some were new volunteers wanting to lend a hand. It is amazing to see how much can be done when we join up to do good work.

The Greenager Crew was hired for a day to resurface the Christian Hill Trail entrance area, and then they came back! This time to volunteer a day which included 15 or so volunteers from the Steiner School to haul more surfacing material, and complete this major trail repair! We are so enormously grateful to be able to support this youthfilled contribution to the community and the environment!
