Project Coordinator Kathy Allard, CSJP-A shows new life emerging from the forest floor.

Our annual Earth Day forest cleanup happened on April 13th this year. Sisters and Associates hauled fallen branches, logs, tires, and other debris away from our forest paths, and continued to work at eliminating some of the invasive plants (including ivy, holly and lamia).

One reward for our labors: seeing the new flowers and leaves emerging from the forest floor.

Hauling brush, logs, and other debris: Sister Margaret Shannon, Associates Kathy Allard and Doug Johnson, Sisters Miriam Spencer and Andrea Nenzel, Candidate Sukyi Hur and Associate Lorraine Johnson.
