Since 1994 millions of Americans have been inspired by the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to serve their neighbors and communities on the MLK holiday, bringing citizens together and strengthening our communities and nation.
In recognition of the city of Cottonwood proclamation for Martin Luther King Day, fellow Stewards of Public Lands member Debbie LaFrance and I drove south of Cottonwood and picked up an illegal dump site on the Prescott National Forest. Stewards have been doing this the past seven years. Yeah, it has actually gotten better--people seem to be dumping less--but we can still find trash out there. Take note of the curving tire tracks for an "after" photo.
Debbie and I were very happy that these gentlemen happened to pass by and were willing to load this old recliner into the truck. Thank you, whoever you are!
We cleaned up the area and it's looking much better!
We are totally happy that we made a difference today! Note the circular tire marks in the first photo and compare them with this photo.
All in a day's work! Thanks Debbie! (P.S. We drove over here to pick up the abandoned tires.)
As part of providing service to community on Martin Luther King Day, Cottonwood Community Garden Coordinator Bobbie Gooslin, left, and I met at the garden to talk about this spring's garden projects. Michele Bradley, right, of the Cottonwood Journal Extra, was documenting activities in Camp Verde and Cottonwood for the MLK day of service.
It is a GREAT honor to live in Cottonwood, Arizona. We love our community!
