Go out and make a difference in your community. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating. - Barbara Sher via The Ripples Project
M-, one of the Senior Volunteer Coordinators at The Golden Gates National Parks Conservancy, emailed me a link to the Muir Woods Earth Day 2013 photos! Here are some to share, and a link to the rest of the photos on Flickr.
The warm welcome.
All of the tools, waiting to be wielded by brave, hardworking volunteers!
There I am mulching all of our newly planted greenery. As a group of 11, in 4 hours we planted over 900 seedlings! It was freezing that early January morning, so I was wearing TBF's Oregon sweatshirt (and my SF Giants hat).
TBF was too manly to wear gloves while he planted. He looks cool in this picture, but he had little splinters and thorns in his fingers at the end of the day.
Volunteers also weeded out invasive species.
Painted curbs.
Flossed and swept the decks.
And built new redwood fences.
A huge hand to all of the great volunteers out there. Together, we made a difference!
XOXO
