LCCD to hold Earth Day clean-up

MONTROSE - Lee County Conservation invites the public to celebrate Earth Day by giving back to the outdoors during a Volunteer Workday on Saturday, April 18, from 9:00 AM to Noon at Heron Bend Conservation Area.
In partnership with the Lee Pheasants Forever chapter, this hands-on event will focus on improving wildlife habitat and enhancing the natural beauty of the area. Volunteers will assist with a variety of projects including park clean-up, waste removal, habitat restoration efforts, and maintenance of the prairie production plot.

Following the workday, participants are invited to stay and enjoy a free BBQ lunch provided by Lee County Pheasants Forever.
