*People have used local trails during COVID as a way to be outside and yet socially isolate and the trails need cleaning/maintaining *Local nursing homes have not had visitors in 1.5 years and residents are feeling lonely and some are depressed.
The members who are 'outdoorsy' will do a trail cleanup at the Botanical gardens. During COVID, people used these trails as a way to get outside and still isolate and they need to be cleaned up. The other group will paint pots and plant flowers in the pots and design window decorations for delivery to a local nursing home.
Great!!! The teens split up into 2 groups...one group cleaned up the trails and one group made items for the local nursing home.
About keeping trails litter free and open to the public. That everyone can make a difference to lonely people.
More directions for the indoor crew. Some of the projects needed touch up. :)
They loved it and learned how important it is to give back
Letting the teens pick which project they wanted was key.
