Sheldon Nature Center Invasive Species Removal (sweat equity) Project

This project will be a series of events, but I don't really know when it will take effect. To explain, it needs a background story. So basically I moved into Oshkosh, WI about 8 years ago. Sheldon Nature Center has always been a great destination for the family, and it's also a very nice shortcut to Oakwood Elementary School, rather than taking Omro Road. Anyway, it's really flourished over the years; more and more plants and animals are finding refuge in Sheldon. There is a trail that winds all over the area, and a bridge to watch the pond.

Park Clean Up

I am apart of the Youth Advisory Council in my hometown of Sweet Home. I am the activities director and am setting up a park clean-up day for the summer. We will have kids come to clean for about 2 hours and then will have a dance afterwards either in the park or at the school gym. We will higher a dj, and get businesses to donate and sponsor food, prizes, and awards for those who help.

Carpentier Park Renovation

Founded almost 3 years ago, Strategies for a Stronger Sanford is a local non-profit based in the old textile town of Sanford, Maine. We have been extremely productive and have kept focus on our main goal - to provide healthy life alternatives to Sanford's youth. Our many events consist of providing an after school program for children in grades 1-3, community dinners, and more recently a trip with more than twelve at-risk youth to see a Boston Celtics game. However, our largest project has been to refurbish our towns under-utilized Carpentier Park.

reduce, reuse, RECYCLE!

As a community, we will work together to devote some time and to help clean up our environment. We will take special trips to the beach, parks, and neighborhood areas to help reduce, reuse, and recycle the products found. :) Got any ideas? Have questions? Contact me at kziarko24@sbcglobal.net

Park Bricks

Outline the rain garden in the park with bricks decorated by the kids that use the park.
