What a fantastic day at the Dreher Park Lake Cleanup!

Thanks to 46 dedicated volunteers, we removed 212.6 pounds of trash from the lake area in just two hours. A special thank you to our own educator, Ashlee Quyle, for her leadership and to our partners, the Dreher Park Neighborhood Association, the City of West Palm Beach, and Surface 71, for making this event possible. A big thank you to our wonderful construction company- Skanska, for coming in with a hard working army of crew members bringing large trash cans, garbage bags, extra grabbers, and sunscreen!

Together, we're helping keep Dreher Park cleaner, safer, and more beautiful for our community. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and made a difference.

Stay tuned for our next clean up event!
