Scavenger Hunt
The Westmoreland Conservancy held its first scavenger hunt at the King Nature Reserve on February 26th. It was nice to see several large groups of people turn out on a winter's day. There was plenty of snow on the ground and the sun was shining. Everyone seemed to have lots of fun. Thanks to all who attended and to the many people who contributed to make this event a success. We hope to see everyone out to the next scavenger hunt.(left to right) Barbara Kochaniak, Hana and Lubomir Katzerova, Blanka and Ladia Joza:
