For several years now we have tried to "fire people up" about the local environment. We've initiated more than 300 volunteer actions that clean-up, heal, and champion our local trails, waterways, roadways, and woodlands. We've launched the Trash-Free Natick Project. We coordinate the BHLF Trail Buddies Program. We've promoted Ban the Bag Massachusetts to reduce the amount of single-use plastic in our environment. We enlist local businesses, student groups, churches, neighbors, and other grass roots organizations to help "change the hearts and minds" and get people involved in hands-on projects that help others and leave small footprints on the Earth.
