| The Wellness Council thanks all volunteers for their fine efforts which have made National Trail Day a success in Seaford for four consecutive years. |
| On June 3, 2006 the members of the Seaford Wellness Council participated in a clean-up of the Tackapausha Preserve. Also participating were members of the Lions Club and Boy Scouts as well as other members of the community. The volunteers were split into groups and combed the preserve picking up debris around the museum, ponds and trails. Members discovered an elaborate man-made trail of wooden planks leading through high reeds to a make-shift shelter. In and around the shelter were plastic boxes, shopping carts, tiki torches and many beer cans and bottles, all of which were dismantled and removed. The Wellness Council thanks all who participated in the clean-up as well as Carole Ryder and assistant Wendy for assisting with this effort and providing educational facts about the Preserve. We wish to repeat this clean-up in the fall. |
