Boys just want to have “green” fun!

That’s right…they do!  A local Arlingtonian celebrated his 10^th birthday at Long Branch Nature Center with 13 friends to remove invasive plants from park grounds (check out another local blog for more).  In lieu of gifts, party attendees made donations to the park…you heard that right.  This 10-year-old passed on gifts for the sake of the environment.  By my account, this is a win all-around.  The kids got to be outside, learn something about protecting and conserving the environment, take part in something that will make a difference in the Arlington community, and hopefully gain an appreciation for our planet.  Talk about making learning fun!  And major props go to the parents of this very committed 10-year-old!
