WETHERILL NATURE PRESERVE
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
 
Do you love our nature preserve? Do you want to help keep it as beautiful as it is now and even make it better? The Wetherill Board of Commissioners is forming a volunteer task force - Friends of Wetherill to do just that. The Friends will work on a variety of projects including maintenance of existing trails, building new trails, control of non native plants, planting new plants, and installation and maintenance of benches and signs. It is expected that the team will meet regularly to maintain this magnificent community resource. The first meeting is planned soon.
 
Commissioner David Bergey will be heading up this effort. Come join him to help preserve and enhance this wonderful part of our community. Interested?
