Umstead+Coalition

On May 5th I volunteered with the Umstead Coaliton, the main group worked to stabilize slopes to prevent erosion, but I worked on weeding and some other various maintenance. While the volunteering was focused on preventing erosion, I was surprised by how much municipal solid waste I saw littered around the area. The work we did should help to keep the area stabilized, but there is another workday on the 12th to continue most of this same project. Really opened my eyes to many of the other underlying issues, aside from simply pollution. Here I am in the Umstead museum in the visitor center.
