With Earth Day and Arbor Day both happening this week in April, there were many volunteer projects around town.
I pitched in to help clean up a section of the
TART trail last weekend.
Then, on Monday I joined a group at Miller Creek Nature Reserve
(part of the Grand Traverse Conservation District land) to help out...
And today (Friday) I helped plant trees along a stretch of the Boardman River.
This is part of the river where a dam was recently removed. The Grand Traverse Conservation District will plant tens of thousands of trees this year on their land!
