SJQP and Cumberland County Poultry Pride 4H Club participated in a youth event on Saturday April 22nd (Earth Day) on the grounds of Landis Sewerage Authority habitat project site. Children planted a variety of plants and seeds beneficial to grassland wildlife. The kids were given a brief informational program by the Division of Fish and Wildlife and SJQP, the Forestry Dept. and watched a dog training demonstration given by SJQP member, Ken Sass. Thank you, Ken! A special appearance by Smokey the Bear and Miss Cumberland County, Sarah Pepitone who assisted with the plantings, made the day even more special. Culminating the agenda was lunch for everyone. Despite the on again, off again rain showers and cool temperatures, it was a great day.
