Rotaract was excited to join Outdoor Adventure Club to volunteer for the Arc of Appalachia in the Scioto River Bottoms at Tremper Mound. We were a part of 26 volunteers and 10 Arc of Appalachia staff who planted over 1,100 trees. The species planted included Bur Oak, Arrowhead, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Hackberry, and other floodplains trees.

Thank you to everyone who was able to help and join!
