Local 4-H Club Improves Park For Bluebirds

The Lehigh County 4-H Farm to Table Club met at the Laurys Station Firehouse Park on Sunday, April 18th. In attendance was special guest, PA State Representative Gary Day. He came to commend the youth members for their efforts on a community service project. The 4-H Club hand-crafted bluebird houses last month in preparation for this service project. The Farm to Table Club researched the importance of bluebirds to agriculture, as well as the annual maintenance necessary for a successful bluebird trail. On Sunday, the youth members each installed a new bluebird house to replace the existing damaged ones. After installation, the children trimmed the brush surrounding each post. Next time you visit the Laurys Station Park, take a walk on the newly refurbished bluebird trail. The 4-H Farm to Table Club welcomes all youth ages 5-18.
