RFH Roots & Shoots members flew our peace dove at a National Public Lands Day event at North Mountain Preserve in Phoenix, Arizona. Our day started at 7am, when we joined hundreds of other volunteers for a trails cleanup. It took only a few minutes for our group to gather an overflowing bucket of trash from the trail! Our peace dove, Shanti, flew from 8am – 1pm next to our exhibitor table, where we spoke with others about R&S International Day of Peace and our service learning projects. We helped children to plant sunflower seeds in paper pots, which they took home to plant in their yards, where the pots became compost to feed their sunflowers. Even at 100 degrees that day, there were roughly 5,000 people in attendance at this event. It was exciting to share our peace dove with so many people!
