Our summer intern Madi spent the day with kindergarten students at Federal Furnace Elementary sharing the message behind our upcoming StoryWalk book, “Pip the Plover and the Dune Grass Path”. 📖

The students had conversations about piping plovers, why protecting endangered species matters, and simple ways they can help keep nesting habitat safe this summer. After reading the book together, each class created a pledge with ideas for protecting plovers and the kids came up with some thoughtful responses! Great job Madi for engaging these young minds! 🤗

We’re excited to continue the conversation this weekend and hope families will join us for this special StoryWalk to see what the students learned and celebrate our local coastal wildlife together.

Kickoff event this Saturday, 6/6 from 10AM–12PM at Center Hill Preserve (beach side)! Come meet the author, Kate Walsh - Powers and check out Plymouth DNR’s mobile wildlife exhibit! The StoryWalk itself will be up through mid-July. The end of this trail will not disappoint! 🌊 🐦🌾 🌺

Have you ever thought about where rain goes after a storm? ⛈️

Not all surfaces handle rain the same. Grass, soil, trees, and native plants help water soak naturally into the ground, while pavement and concrete increase runoff.

Cleaner streets mean cleaner water! Here are a few simple ways you can help:

- Pick up pet waste 💩
- Plant native plants 🌱
- Clear debris from storm drains 🍂
- Plant more trees 🌲

Treated clothing and shoes will protect you for up to 6 weeks or 6 washings. That means if you treat your shoes now, they will be protective until mid-July.
