The Macoupin County Enquirer ran a front-page story on our recent Awards meeting. The article, which ran in the August 13 edition under Jackson Wilson’s by-line, is entitled “Carlinville environmental groups recognized at awards ceremony”. It presents details of the groups’ local efforts to beautify the city by creating and maintaining pollinator-friendly habitats in parks, common areas, and byways in and around our city.
The gracious and heartfelt remarks of Kevin Bennett, Illinois Program Director for Trees Forever, lauding our community’s activism and enthusiasm for its role as caretakers of the environment were duly noted. The article goes on to detail several specific projects, including tree plantings, work around the square, and youth involvement.
Check out our own Fresh Honey tab for more details and photos of the event.
