    Last week’s Nature Trail walk was a wonderfully relaxing and fun way to spend time outside together. The wildflowers were lovely!

    Please support the EcoChallenge by joining me Tuesday evening at 7pm at 1 College Circle (the house nearest College Lane) for a Nature Trail walk! If that time/date doesn’t work for you, let’s find an additional time to do it before (or after!) the EcoChallenge ends.
