Umstead+Park+Walk+Run+Bike

On Saturday April 21st, I had the pleasure of volunteering at the annual Walk Run Bike at Umstead State Park. I was stationed as a registration official, where I handed participants their badges/stickers and their t-shirts. The main purpose of this event was to raise money and awareness for the Umstead Coalition to use for environmental education and service projects which benefit both the park and the state.

This relates to AP Environmental Science since there were many compost and recycling bins around the facility. In class and on readings, we learned that many public parks are making moves to be much more clean and environmentally friendly, and that they are using recycling and compost bins much more than they are using those for trash.
