Hello, watershed friends.
Happy Volunteer Week, Earth Day, Arbor Day, and every day beyond! What a special time of the year it is for me. With my favorite holidays (Earth Day and Arbor Day), the start of field/stream seasons, native plant sales, and National Volunteer Week, I am buzzing with gratitude and excitement. To celebrate we are taking some time to learn more about green infrastructure with Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and planting some trees this week.
Thank you for being part of the Watershed Volunteer Program. It is a joy to engage in watershed stewardship with all of you. I am in awe daily of your contributions of time and talent to this work and the world.
See you in a field or stream soon.
