The environmental health of our Garden and community is one of the primary focuses of our organization. With this focus in mind our Clean and Green Committee, under the leadership of Hazel Hans, constantly reviews our environmental practices and procedures. We have instituted many changes, using the guiding principles of the Four R’s:  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot. We are pleased to see how much progress we have made in making sure our Garden and Fort are “clean and green.”
