Leaders Against Litter Cleanup - March 19, 2016

Vermilion SWCD teamed up with North Vermilion High School Science Club to partner in the Leaders Against Litter Campaign on March 19, 2016 from 9-noon.  14 students and 1 teacher assisted the District by picking up on various roads throughout Abbeville.  So proud of these students, and the teacher who continues to donate his time on the weekend to show the kids what volunteering is all about!
