On this beautiful, snowy day, can you believe we gain an hour of daylight tomorrow and spring is a week away?  

Greetings Parks and Recreation Friends,
We just love breaking good news! 


Longer days mean more time outside on our trails and in our wonderful parks and preserves. You may be inspired to do some spring cleaning too—for the outdoorsy types we have two upcoming opportunities for you: 

  • Saturday, March 19: Fox Hollow Trail Team Cleanup between 9AM and Noon (Rain date: Sunday March 20)

  • Saturday, March 26: Okehocking Preserve Cleanup for the 24th Annual Chester Ridley Crum Watersheds Association Streams Cleanup (Rain or shine)

Please scroll along for cleanup details and info about our upcoming  Willistown Summer Fun and Union Soccer camps.

As always, please contact me with suggestions or to report a concern. 


Happy longer days,

Mary
