Description

"It's one thing I like about volunteering...as much as you give, you're getting back from the community."

In this episode, I talk with the AmeriCorps Conservation Crew from the West Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department: Larry Lomax, Clara Lotz, Miles Romans, and Esme Gonzalez!

Discover the inspiring work this dedicated team is doing to enhance our local parks, engage with the community, and promote environmental stewardship. From ongoing projects to personal development, the crew shares their goals, challenges, and success stories. Learn how you can get involved and support their efforts to make West Lafayette a greener, more sustainable place.
