Green Tip of the Month! Welcome Summer! When walking or hiking, if you see trash, pick it up. Carry some gardening gloves and a small trash bag with you to store any litter you find. Better for you to find it before a creature thinks it's a snack, for what could be its last meal! Thank you for caring for our Earth! | | |
