State Road Clean-up
April 18, 2009 was our date to help out at State Road
Elementary, re-mulching the hiking trails. We had so many
volunteers that it didn't take very long for us to run out of
mulch! The event was fun, and we're looking forward to
helping out again next fall.
After our work was completed, one of the teachers from State
Road took us to the circle in the woods where he takes his
classes and his Nature Club at State Road. He told us all
about the ways that he uses nature to enhance his teaching and
further students' learning. We all went away with even
more appreciation for the hiking trails and the work we had
done.

First, we loaded mulch onto stretchers with pitchforks...

Then we carried the stretchers full of mulch down the trail, depositing it where it was needed.

|
Volunteers came back with empty stretchers, and we started all over again!
