Kalahari Resort,
Barnes
Nursery and Erie MetroParks employees teamed up with about 90 local
Brownies and Girl Scouts to celebrate Earth Day by planting six
native trees. Participants in this great event to promote recycling
and protecting the environment also started a trail through
Osborn Park’s new Children’s Forest.
This event was made possible,
which was made possible by
Kalahari Resort’s initiative and
leadership, Barnes Nursery’s tree donations,
and all of the Brownies and Girl Scouts members and leaders, and
their supportive families.
A special Thank
You from Erie MetroParks for everyone's hard work!

a great start!
