What people shared about their experience
The sense of accomplishment was great as all of us worked together to remove such an incredibly large amount of plants. Beautiful day, nice people, and common goal and lots to learn for my kids.
I was a pleasure to contribute to the community. Everyone was very enthusiastic.
