For at least 14 years, Lake Mansfield Alliance has hosted an annual spring spruce-up day for Lake Mansfield. For the first time ever, this year's date was postponed and we had a beautiful weather day and were able to get lots of work done! Old friends met new neighbors. And we shared the latest news on the work of the town appointed Lake Mansfield Improvement Task Force.

River Walk was filled with great spring energy as young and old explored the trees of the upstream section as part of the Tree ID challenge. Thank you to Wards Nursery for donating two Paper Birch trees that were given to our raffle winners. On Arbor Day, two winners were selected. Alexander Christoulou won the kids raffle. He promises to let his sister, Sofia, help care for their new tree. Lelia Braun won the adult raffle, she donated her tree to River Walk Volunteer, Olivia Conforti.
