The people that my friend and I met during the weekend work day were absolutely delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the woods as we were chatting about different plants and learning about how they preserve this area's natural species. I look forward to working with them again!

This is a great activity for myself and my 2 teenage sons. We started participation over winter and found it a rewarding local project we can return to regularly. Bill, the steward of our local area (McCormick Woods) is welcoming and enthusiastic, and encouraging to everyone.
