all day environmental project

This project is being coordinated by the youth as part of their Pathfinder requirements. Participation goes towards Voyageur level requirements and a couple challenge badges too.

This will be our 2nd trip to the dunes to help reclaim this unique environment from the encroaching forest. The creatures which call this area home should be active than when we were first there in November.

What to bring: a hat, camera, sun screen and at least 1litre water.
