It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn
again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.

We also participate in cleanups with the Sierra Club.Help our feathered friends by picking up trash at two spoil islands just off Pop Stansell Park in Palm Harbor
that we have adopted. Discover the perils faced by nesting birds who must share these islands with campers and high tides
that often bring debris. Participants must bring their own kayaks or canoes. Visit the Suncoast
Sierra site for details.
Upcoming Sierra Cleanups, held on Sundays -
June 29 (Sunday) 9-11am:Spoil Island Cleanup. Celebrate the start of summer by cleaning up islands that our feathered friends have used for nesting
sites all spring. Men, women and older children are encouraged to help.
