Martin Luther King Day of Service Work Session in the Mapleton Preserve
January 21, 2013
24 cheerful volunteers gathered in the Mapleton Preserve for a three-hour work session.
This was the 27th anniversary of the Martin Luther King federal holiday, when millions of Americans honor King by volunteering for a “National Day of Service” in their communities.
One crew removed 15 bags of litter, tires, and miscellaneous junk from trails, paths, fields, and woodland. The second crew wielded loppers, saws, and brute force to rescue a signature row of flowering trees from certain strangulation by a shroud of invasive vines.
