🌿 Earth Stewardship Celebration – May Project Recap 🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Gorman Nature Center for our May Earth Stewardship Celebration project!

Together, we made a real impact by removing invasive species such as honeysuckle, privet, autumn olive, and multiflora rose.
These efforts help restore native habitats, improve ecosystem health, and create a better natural space for wildlife and our community to enjoy.

We appreciate all of the volunteers and partners who came out to lend a hand—your hard work truly makes a difference! 💚
Stay tuned for future stewardship projects and ways to get involved!

🌎💚 Student Power in Action! 💚🌎

A huge THANK YOU to the incredible students from Ontario High School’s Warrior Leadership group for showing what environmental stewardship looks like in action!

Sixteen dedicated students spent 2.5 hours tackling a much‑needed cleanup in the woods near Culver’s—and the results were amazing. Together, they collected at least 30 bags of trash, transforming an area that was once heavily littered into a space that now truly looks better. The students themselves noticed a major improvement, and their hard work made a visible difference for both the environment and our community.

We’re proud of these future leaders for stepping up, working together, and proving that small actions—when multiplied—can have a powerful impact. 🌱👏

🌎 Rotarians at Work!

Today, some of our dedicated Rotarians partnered with NECIC to celebrate Earth Day by helping clean up litter in the north end. Small actions make a big difference, and we’re proud to be part of keeping our community beautiful.

Way to go, Rotary Club of Mansfield! 👏💙
