Volunteers Jodi Stitt and Cheryl Maci learn about setting up tents and backcountry skills during our recent Backcountry Program Support Volunteer Training. CONSERVATION TIP: Stay Active this WinterWhile our tendency is to slow down and stay inside during the cold months of winter, we want to encourage you to stay active and get outside this season! There are plenty of ways to get involved with Five Rivers MetroParks this winter - attend a MetroParks program, volunteer, go for a winter hike in the parks, ice skate at RiverScape MetroPark, or pick up a new hobby - anyone tried snowshoeing or cross-country skiing?! While you're out and about in the parks, don't forget to recycle those holiday lights! The last call for dropping of your holiday lights for recycling at MetroParks is - February 28th! (extended deadline) The deadline to drop off your live trees for tree sinking at Eastwood MetroPark has passed. Trees that were dropped off at Eastwood MetroPark by January 13th will be sunk into the lake by our team of staff and volunteers to support a healthy fish population in the lake. |
