Calling all Ardencroftians! Do you have a passion for picking up things that don’t belong to you? Do you have an unresolved vendetta against invasive greenery? Then we have the perfect morning planned for you.

To celebrate Earth Day, we are gathering to give our beloved forest a much-needed spa day (minus the cucumber water and fluffy robes). It’s time to reclaim our woods from the clutches of litter and botanical invaders!

The “Fun” on the Agenda:

• The Great Trash Treasure Hunt: Experience the thrill of discovering ancient artifacts like rusted soda cans, mysterious hubcaps, and that one sneaker that’s been missing since 1998.
• Extreme Ivy Wrestling: Test your strength against English Ivy! It’s like a tug-of-war where the opponent never gives up and occasionally tries to trip you.
• Garlic Mustard Mayhem: Help us pull this pungent intruder. It’s the only time “smelling like a salad” is considered a badge of honor.

Whether you’re a seasoned woods-warrior or just looking for an excuse to avoid doing chores at your own house, we’d love to see you there. Let’s keep Ardencroft’s backyard beautiful, one stubborn weed at a time!
