North Hempstead Council Member Anna Kaplan attended an Earth Day clean up at Manhasset Valley Park on Sunday, April 30. Over 100 volunteers from the Ismaili Council for the Northeastern U.S. painted benches, mulched trees and planted hundreds of shrubs and wetland plants.
The plants were donated by Scott McDonald, a Sands Point resident and board member of Global Wildlife Conservation to the Metropolitan Monarch Alliance, a Queens College Program run by Port Washington environmental activist David Jakim.
