Happy Earth Day!!!

We know the official date was last month, but every day is Earth Day at the Science Museum! This year we celebrated with PW Green and local volunteers, planting over 250 native tree species on the Eastern side of our preserve. After the devastation Hurricane Sandy brought to our forest, the valley along our stream was in desperate need of care and ecological intervention, and our planting fit the bill.

As of the end of May we are pleased to announce the success of our (and your) work, with the majority of our trees showing new growth and generally looking healthy, beautiful, and in my personal opinion, happy.
