Yeah its the Riverside RANGERS!!

There’s this awesome MCLC crew called the Riverside Rangers. They work at Riverside Park, with the Urban Ecology Center, right by Riverside High School. The Riverside Rangers have been doing a lot of work through the mosquitoes and the heat and rain this summer. They’ve created hill side trails for the public to enjoy which also help disperse the water to prevent erosion when it rains! It’s good for everyone!!!! The Rangers have also removed a TON of Chicory and Queen Ann’s lace, which are invasive species. After the storms, a lot of the trails already put in place got ruined, there for the Riverside Rangers stepped in and re-mulched all of it, and the mulch pile wasn’t really close at all! Along with all of this the Rangers go to Menomonee Valley’s Hank Aaron Trail, near Miller Park Stadium, to help with their invasive problems and of course the problems they had due to the storms, seeing how the the trail runs along the river. So the Riverside Rangers are having a pretty busy summer but still having as much fun doing it as possible!:)
