THANK YOU HEVREH! You made a BIG difference on the Riverfront Trail!

On Sunday, October 19th, twenty- two Hevreh volunteers gathered to help on the southern portion of the Riverfront Trail located on Bridge Street. 

Their mission was to battle the invasive plants that are overwhelming this riparian ecosystem area. The industrious adults and kids quickly learned to identify and remove bittersweet, burning bush, and multiflora rose.  

GBLC Board Member and work party leader Jane Angelini was impressed!  " The group was so well organized and ambitious! I couldn't believe how hard they all worked and how much they accomplished! "
