Isenberg Gives Back! 🌿 Last week, Isenberg staff spent Earth Day giving back with a Volunteer Service Day. The team headed to the Silvio O. Conte Nature Trail in Hadley, MA for an invasive species pull alongside the @[Connecticut River Conservancy](urn:li:organization:2363411), Fort River Watershed, and the @[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service \(USFWS\)](urn:li:organization:13451). Some garlic mustard patches are easy to manage. A significant portion of the garlic mustard management on the Isenberg Day of Service required volunteers to crawl through thorny shrubs in order to be thorough. This effort makes a big difference in the overall goal to reduce or eliminate invasive plants and restore native habitats. Isenberg is proud of what the volunteers were able to accomplish in just one day, supporting local wildlife, caring for our environment, and connecting with one another. Swipe through for a few highlights from a day full of teamwork and impact! #IsenbergGivesBack #CommunityImpact #EarthDay #FortRiver
