J.E.B. Stuart High School students and faculty, Ravenwood Park residents, Bailey’s Crossroads Rotary Club members, and other volunteers participated in the clean-up, which was organized by Stuart biology
teacher Lauren Kinne.

“It was an unbelievably successful
and fun event,” says Kinne. “Everyone was amazing. At first, I was a doubter,
thinking we wouldn’t be able to accomplish very much, but now I’m a believer

Actually I think it was Lauren Kinne, the organizer, who believed from the beginning that with a little/a lot of effort we could make a difference in the park. It was some of the volunteers, me included, who had their doubts but who were amazingly and happily disproved by what the 50 volunteers were able to accomplish in one day!
