Environment Community Service Program
The GFWC Environment Community Service Program encourages us to become stewards of the earth by working to preserve the world’s resources, protect wildlife and domesticated animals, live sustainably, and beautify our communities and enjoy nature. Environmental degradation is cumulative and many scientists warn that we are at a tipping point. There is no time like the present to act.

A message from Carolyn DeJongh:
We have a very wonderful opportunity coming up this October 17, 10am - 2pm, at Trees for Tomorrow. Emily, our new GFWC contact and forester at the Forest Service, and Nate, the new silviculturist at the Forest Service in Eagle River, will co-host an educational and fun event at Trees. We will tour the new deer enclosure that our members planted in April, and the NFS forest on the Trees campus that we replanted last Fall. We will be able to see how the plantings are doing, have an explanation of why we planted the species we did, and more. We should be able to learn a lot from these two talented individuals.
We can carpool from Rhinelander, and we should provide our own lunches for this event. Please rsvp to Carolyn DeJongh, cdej@charter.net, or call or text with questions.
