Many hands at work at Kiwanis Park on Feb. 7

Saturday was a beautiful day - 70 degrees which is unusual for early February. Forty-five TreeKeepers, Boy Scouts and neighbors came out to Kiwanis Park on Saturday to take advantage of the beautiful day and remove honeysuckle that was taking over the woods.

This was one of our largest TreeKeepers projects - at least with the number of volunteers - in the history of TreeKeepers. Many of those who just completed their coursework as well several seasoned volunteers came out. Steve Johnson, a resident of the nearby College Park neighborhood, stopped by to share his appreciation to the group and lend a hand, too.

Thanks, volunteers, for joining forces to make a huge difference at Kiwanis Park!
