EVERGREEN PARK STEWARDSHIP

Evergreen Park is always green because it is full of non-deciduous trees, but not all of the green belongs in Evergreen Park. Things like English Ivy, Himalayan Blackberries, bottles, cans, and other trash don't belong in parks. So our group did an stewardship project at our adopted park. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "environmental stewardship is the responsibility for environmental quality shared by all those whose actions affect the environment. As stewards of Evergreen Park, we pruned Himalayan Blackberries, pulled English Ivy, and picked up trash. Thank you to all who helped and to the Hillsboro Parks Department for supplying tools! --Submitted by R&S youth leader Mikal
