4-H Conservation Club completes Fall Cleanup

The 4-H Conservation Club held their annual fall cleanup at Pleasant Valley Park on Saturday, October 8, 2011. They collected six bags of trash and several large items from two different areas in the park.

They were getting ready to pick trash from the weeds around the parking lot, when a large black snake crossed in front of them. It came from from the grass behind the kiosk and garbage can and went across the road and up the bank into the grass on the upper side of the parking lot. Needless to say, they decided not to walk into the high weeds around the parking lot after that to look for more trash.

Pleasant Valley Park's 262 acres of woodlands, open fields, hilltops and remote valleys provide excellent areas for many outdoor activities year round. Pleasant Valley Park also contains several miles of trails that are open for hiking and mountain biking. Anyone who enjoys being outdoors in a natural area, is likely to find something to like about Pleasant Valley Park.
