Happy Earth Day! 🌍
Today, our team rolled up their sleeves and got outside for a little spring cleanup at University Park! From feeding the woodchipper and spreading mulch to trying out some of the Parks Team’s heavy-duty tools—like the Dingo and tractor—it was a day full of hands-on learning, teamwork, and Earth-loving fun!
