Major cleanup this afternoon with @laguardiacc

Students and staff helped pull out an approximate half ton of litter, debris and old fencing materials from this street end site in Dutch Kills.

The day also provided some excitement for biology students with a diversity of plants, insects and even mycelium encountered during the cleanup.
