Greensburg Go-Getters 4-H Club
Take a Hike. At their monthly club meeting, members of the Greensburg Go-Getters 4-H club hiked the trails of
the Yankauer Nature Preserve under the guidance of Mary Beth Grove, a preserve volunteer. Mrs. Grove told
members how the preserve was formed on 104 acres of farm land, and how the trails were cut by individual volunteers and groups.
If you like to hike there are several trails ranging in length from short to long for you to try. The
preserve is open from dawn to dusk. For more information on the preserve you can go to their website at potomacaudubon.org

leaders to plan the New Year with more community service activities, ways to make the meetings more fun, and new and exciting
fundraising ideas. After the meeting was adjourned, members, parents, and leaders enjoyed several flavors of ice
cream from The American Ice Cream Company. What a yummy way to wrap up the 4-H year! Submitted
