Over the past few months we have been very excited about our new partnership with Mass Audubon. Through this partnership we have met naturalists and scientists who have come to Lawrence and really opened our eyes to the great habitat we have right here in our city. Though we don't often consider urban centers as places for great habitats for wildlife, we have learned first-hand that this isn't true and in fact, with Lawrence having three rivers running through it, these water bodies provide rich wildlife habitat.  

We have also been working on our "Green It Up!" Campaign and as part of this effort we are organizing an Earth Day event, in partnership with Comcast Cares Day.   We hope to Green Lawrence by decreasing the trash and litter that lines our city streets, increasing the amount of households that recycle in the city, educating other youth in this city about the importance of environmental stewardship, as well as engaging other youth in service and informing residents about the benefits of reducing, reusing, and recycling.  Please join us on Saturday, April 24 in celebrating Earth Day.   We hope to see you there!
