Hands to Service

Wednesday morning, July 22, 4-H Congress Delegates participated in the Hands to Service Activity.  Counties were assigned to locations around the Raleigh area and spent the morning serving the area, from yard work to gleaning to cleaning to assisting with children.

“People should volunteer their time to help preserve our natural heritage.”

This quote came from a group of 4-Her’s who spent their Hands to Service time at the Prairie Ridge Center, a part of the Museum of Natural Sciences which strives to restore the land to its orignal state and look.  Youth worked on removing invasive plants, weeding and mulching native trees, and learning about the Enviromental Education Center.

It was a very rewarding experience for all who participated.
