A HUGE thank you to the IU Health Epic division who helped clean up and beautify Holliday park this past Friday!

Volunteers helped with trail, shelter, and nature classroom cleanup, invasive removals, mulching, cleaning, and painting inside the nature center.

These beautification efforts are incredibly important to keep our parks a welcoming space for Indianapolis residents to enjoy 💚🌳
