On Saturday, September 26, FPAN joined Arch Creek Park to participate in National Public Lands Day. From a National Public Lands Day brochure:
"There's a special joy in getting our hands dirty when it helps keep our land beautiful. Consider that one-third of the land in America is ours - public land where we can all hike, climb, swim, explore, picnic, or just plain relax. National Public Lands Day is an opportunity to help spruce up these lands while helping us get back to some of the places we love."
At Arch Creek, neighbors and park naturalists helped beautify natural areas by removing invasive plants and mulching and lining trails.
FPAN set up a booth with information about the organization.
Dr. Michele Williams, director of the Southeast Regional Center of FPAN, gave a tour of the trails at Arch Creek Park.
A Tequesta Indian site is marked along the trail. Dr. Williams showed us a Tequesta midden and mound also located within the park.
