Thank you to those 50 people who chose to get out of their beds on a Sunday morning to come and take a walk through Welchman Hall Gully and listen to some great presentations soon after to celebrate Earth Day 2012! This coupled with the 75 or 80 people who came out in the evening time to see the movie One Day On Earth at Southern Palms Beach Club and Resort Hotel made Earth Day 2012 a great day to celebrate and appreciate this great planet!
Some of the pics of the morning event:
