A Day On, Not a Day Off!

Did you observe this mantra in some way on Martin Luther King Day? We did! SCA was out in force leading large community service projects -- cleaning up litter, removing invasives, planting, rebuilding trails, and generally having a great time reconnecting with each other and the outdoors. Here are just a few of the photos from SCA DC, SCA Bay Area and SCA Seattle.

1/17/2011, Kingman & Heritage Islands, NE Washington DC

We had 110 participants: SCA CLC & Summer Program alumni, corporate groups, 3 schools, families, neighborhood residents, SCA interns, a representative from the DC Gov, and all of the awesome SCA DC Staff.

Projects

• Removed approximately 1/2 acre of Honey Suckle (invasive)
• Cleared 1/2 mile of trail, built 1 bog bridge, and rerouted a 50-foot section of trail
• Cleaned trash from over 3 acres of the park

Thanks to all the volunteers and staff who braved the cold to come out and spend their day keeping the island beautiful!
