Ivy Cleanup at Pioneer Park

On June 7, 2025, my family and I spent a beautiful morning volunteering at Pioneer Park, helping to remove invasive Ivy that threatens the health of our local ecosystem. With gloves on and tools in hand, we joined neighbors in cutting back vines, clearing trails, and learning together about the importance of preserving our native landscape.

For us, this wasn’t just community service—it was a chance to teach our kids the value of giving back and caring for the land we call home. There’s something powerful about working side by side as a family to protect the places we all enjoy.
