Get2Green Team Update

Crossfield’s Get2Green Team and community members gathered this past Sunday to take another step toward improving our surroundings and creating a healthier, more sustainable environment for native insects, birds, and other wildlife. Despite the humid weather and hot sun, Get2Green leaders, members, families, and neighbors worked together to restore the natural area behind our newly renovated fields by removing invasive plants and replacing them with native species, including asters and goldenrod. We are truly grateful to everyone who contributed their time and effort to this important mission!
