b'Thank You,Paula Walter!Wed like to offer a special thank you to Paula Walter for her tireless efforts in making the Russell-Mandel Preserve beautiful. For the past few years, Paula has been dedicating her time to converting all of the garden beds at Russell-Mandel to native plants, often growing or buying them herself as a donation to Heritage Conservancy. Additionally, Paula has worked at the stream bank at Russell-Mandel to help with erosion and water quality. Thank you, Paula! - 29 -'
