Teamwork in Action: Thanks for Making Pitch In On the Piedmont a Success

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Pitch In On the Piedmont event last month! We had nearly 30 incredible volunteers, including a student working on their Eagle Scout project, the Manassas Young Marines and Mason students from the Biology and Engineering departments. Because of their hard work, we were able to add much to large areas of the Piedmont Trail and install two brand-new benches. Their efforts made a huge impact, and we couldn’t have done it without them!
