Two weeks ago 5 CW Reources volunteers came with Miriam, their transporter.They helped the Center sort, organize and count fabric resources!

They also learned how folks profile seeing a raccoon out during the day means they are rabid! I let them see how the double hardware cloth does not allow someone to touch the raccoons! I also gave them info how raccoons are not good pets!

They and I had a great time!!! We would like to thank CW Resources for the opportunity to give back to our community and connect with caring folks!

Where are we? Let us know WITHOUT saying the name!!!

What do you love about the place?

We had a great time at Hungerford Nature Center yesterday! We saw all the critters at the Center! They revamped it! Go visit, bring a lunch and enjoy the vuew!

Then we took a peaceful walk around their pond! As we walked around the pond, the frogs jumped in! I wouldn't harm them! But I was tempted to take a few home!

And it's FREE!!!
