First Link: The Story of Fernald

First Link: The Story of Fernald, the documentary that was produced for the 50th anniversary celebration, only takes viewers through 2001.  Through a partnership with the community, Fernald workers completed the cleanup in 2006.  The site is now the Fernald Preserve and is flourishing.  A magnificent Visitors Center opened in 2008 and many school and community groups use the site for educational and recreational purposes. Read more…

Road CleanupSpring Cleanup of Paddy's Run Road

Thanks to everyone who helped with the Paddys Run Road (PRR) cleanup last Saturday. Great weather and beautiful day! We collected a record 16 bags of recycling, 12 bags of garbage and other assorted junk. Below are two pictures of the crew and the haul. Carol had to leave early and was not there for the picture.
