We had an incredible service event at Buzzard Point with and National Park Service this past Saturday! Together, we collected 120 pounds of trash, removed invasive species, and painted to beautify the area for the community. Afterwards, volunteers helped plant our Green Roof at the Matthew Henson Earth Conservation Center. Shoutout to all the volunteers, NPS and for organizing the event!
