What a beautiful morning volunteering and exploring at Price Park!
Our 11 students and three sponsors began by giving the Pollinator Garden some much-needed care. We cleaned it out and thinned the butterfly bush so it can grow back with a little more room and intention. Along the way, we learned about some of the native pollinators that make the garden special.
Mrs. Aughey shared the story of her love of birdwatching and the tools she has invested in to share that passion with her students—all in honor of her father’s legacy. Then we headed to the meadow, where we identified more than ten different birds, including sparrows, cardinals, a phoebe, crows, and a hawk.
We found the Thinking Tree, explored the banks of Allatoona Creek, learned about the Indian Grinding Stone, skipped rocks, and paused to enjoy the peaceful sound of the water. On our way back, we followed the swamp path and spotted ferns, plants, and critters along the trail.
Our work morning was a success—and discovering Price Park together made it even more special. A lovely day of service, learning, and time outdoors!
