Past Conservationists of the Year Caught on Film Doing More Good Works

On May 15, your traveling photographer happened to catch our past two Conservationists of the Year working side-by-side on the planting at the "Gateway" project, south of Elizabeth Park and east of Jefferson in Trenton. Doug Thiel (2009) and Pam Frucci (2008) came up with the gateway enhancement idea earlier in the year while discussing the seemingly constant litter found along Grosse Ile Parkway.

Although solutions to that problem have not been implemented, subsequent discussions with new Conservancy member Roberta Urbani led to DTE sponsorship of the entryway enhancement project and involvement of the DTE Green Team in the planting work at Jefferson and Grosse Ile Parkway.
