A two-acre lot of land owned by Our Savior’s, Port Orange, Fla., was transformed this spring into a community-friendly nature trail by the local WELS Boy and Girl Pioneers group. Approximately 30 children ages 5-13 worked on cleaning up this protected section of land. Local nurseries donated or gave discounts on plants used for the site. The trail, which was dedicated May 27, includes a butterfly garden and deer feeder. “It was a wonderful learning experience for the children,” says Beth Dobberstein, one of the Pioneer leaders.
