April exhibited a remarkable burst of energy along the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, as families, students and local businesses came together to celebrate National Volunteer Month. Fuelled by a passion for preserving nature and history, dozens of participants joined hands to make a significant environmental impact. Their efforts didn’t just beautify the trail; they created a sense of pride and ownership among the community, fostering a deeper connection to the region’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
Cleaning up litter and debris helps protect the natural habitat and prevents pollution of the Lackawanna River and surrounding ecosystem. A clean and well-maintained trail enhances the overall appearance of the trail and promotes a sense of pride among residents and visitors, reducing the risk of accidents and exposure to harmful substances, making it a safer and healthier place for recreational activities.
As April draws to a close, the LRHT gleams with renewed vitality, a testament to the collective spirit of volunteerism and stewardship.
Thanks to all our volunteers for your invaluable contributions!
