As we close out the 2014 fiscal year, we wanted to share a few stats on what we've been up to!
 We collected 205 bags of trash throughout Arlington streets, parks, and streams.
- Our awesome volunteers racked up a total of 2,634 hours. Way to go!
- We engaged 2,000 Arlington students in hands-on activities connected to stewardship of our planet.
- Our Energy Masters volunteers helped 147 families improve the energy and water efficiency of their homes.
- We planted 296 trees to improve Arlington's canopy through the Arlington County Tree Canopy Fund.
Thanks to all of our members, donors and volunteers for a great year!
