Girl Scout Troop 1379 participated in Earth Day Community Clean-up Event by picking up 2 bucketfuls of trash and recyclables along the Mulberry Park Trail. They would like to tell our readers not to litter the trails and keep our community beautiful. The trash on the trails can harm wildlife and can stay there for decades if not picked up.

Way to go Troop 1379! You are an inspiration!
