Earth Day

Earth Day 2011

The Conservancy’s Trails Committee planned a combination of Earth and Arbor Day for 2011. This year’s effort targeted Seaside Park, in particular the planting of native tree
and shrub seedlings along the trails.

On a cool but otherwise pleasant April day, Maureen Ashley, Nina Robertson, Fred Madio, and Sandi Peaslee dug up the seedlings for Earth/Arbor Day work at the Robinson Farm bedding area.

Then, on our day of work, it rained. . .

But that didn't stop our hardy volunteers! They planted some six-dozen tree and shrub seedlings and removed five bags of trash from the area. Well done!

The Undaunted….

“Let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world.”
