On November 8, 2025, we participate in a two-hour volunteer activity at Bethpage State Park. From 9 AM to 11 AM under the bright autumn sun, we worked together to remove weeds and in safe plants such as Markward and wild cherry trees. The goal was to prepare the area for a future lawn by clearing unwanted vegetation and roots to help the soil recover. We worked in teams, using shovels and gloves to pull out weeds. Although it was tiring, everyone was dedicated and learned a lot about environmental conservation. This activity was not only strengthened our teamwork but also deepened our understanding of the importance of protecting nature.
After the activity began volunteers, were divided into several groups somewhere responsible for pulling out small weeds other used shovels to dig out plants with dipper roots and some
helped collect and move the weeds to the design area. Everyone wore gloves and cooperated efficiently. Although the wind was strong and the weather was chilly everyone stayed focused and enthusiastic, working hard without complaint, the teamwork and coordination made the whole process lively and productive.
During the activity, we not only exercised our physical strength, but also learned a lot about environmental protection, although it was tiring, it was truly meaningful.
