Fifty-three students and teachers from the Caliente Elementary School’s 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes participated in a National Public Lands Day Event hosted at Kershaw Ryan State Park by the Caliente Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management and Nevada Division of State Parks staff.
This year’s even featured an education station where students learned about the importance of rock art in the region, and how they can help protect it. They learned how Biologist and Range Staff use observation and math skills to collect data to see how healthy our public lands are. They were able to talk with Local BLM Wildland Firefighters and learn about the trucks and equipment that they use to manage wildfires and the importance of being careful with fire. Students took a short hike in the canyons of Kershaw Ryan State Park, where they learned about ways they can observe and enjoy our public lands.
Finally, everyone participated in a project to restore a portion of the park that is infested with Russian Thistle, a highly invasive weed in the area. Students, teachers, BLM and State Parks staff worked together to spread native seeds in an area near the front of the park. This project will help native plants out compete the invasive weeds, and provide edible plants for local wildlife.

It might be rainy and miserable, but we're still out there getting the job done! Brian and his team at Quartech kickstarted the site preparation for tree planting later this year on this gorgeous property in Gippsland, Vic.
The farm is home to Emma from Glorious Googies and her 1,200 free-range chooks. And this winter it'll undergo a facelift with 37ha of the property revegetated with nearly 30,000 native trees. Emma said "The area we’ve chosen is steep and rugged – and should never have been cleared in the first place. Working with Greenfleet provides us with a great opportunity to leave a legacy beyond what the two of us and our chooks could ever hope to do."
Find out more about how Glorious Googies is working with Greenfleet to turn these hills into a beautiful native forest: www.greenfleet.com.au/News/TabId/264/artmid/2986/articlei...

A cadre of dedicated volunteers celebrated National Public Lands Day with a day of service and outdoor fun on the Green River and at the Price Canyon Recreation Area. Approximately two dozen volunteers from Carbon County Recreation, Sheri Griffith Outfitting, and Fort Lewis College greeted a sunny morning at Swasey’s Boat Ramp. The group spent the day rafting and hiking as they gathered trash and groomed trails along the Green River river corridor. This scenic stretch of the Green River is well-known to locals and tourists as the final leg of the Desolation and Gray Canyons River adventure. The project wrapped up at the Nefertiti Recreation Area, where the volunteers relaxed and enjoyed an autumn picnic.

Each year the girls eagerly look forward to filling box of goodies for Operation Christmas Child (OCC).
According to the OCC website, "Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes."
This is Sophia with the box she filled with items she picked out at Target.
She and Olivia were so happy to be able to assemble the boxes this year. It is one way that they can give and make a difference in the lives of children who may not otherwise have gifts this Christmas.

Named to honour people from Gloucestershire who made a difference, including Martin Heath and Emma Hurrell. Gloucester station 2022-03-04
A run-down parcel of land on the side of the Strzelecki Ranges has been transformed by a visionary landowner and Greenfleet.
Adam and Debbie Tyson’s property in southern Victoria was once covered with a mosaic of rainforest, including 90-metre tall Mountain Ash trees. As the agriculturalists and loggers moved into the region in the late 19th century, the land was cleared and less than a fifth of the original forest remains standing today.
“When I bought the land, it was overgrazed and run down with erosion and weeds. It had very little remanent vegetation left,” Adam explains.
The sparsely-forested property’s steep slopes and frequent heavy rainfall also made it prone to devastating landslides.
Since 2011, the Tysons and Greenfleet have planted approximately 14,880 native trees.
“We’ve seen many improvements over that time. The trees are thriving and there is a noticeable increase in birdlife,” Adam says.
“The trees are certainly helping with the erosion – and we haven’t had a landslide for a couple of seasons now.”

The BLM Wyoming Cody Field Office hosted volunteers to remove net-wire fence and replace it with barbed and smooth-wire fence in order to help pronghorn and mule deer migration.
“It was a great time with lots of smiles and enthusiasm,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Nancy Patterson. “About 47 folks removed 1.75 miles of network fence!”
The Cody Field Office thanks all the volunteers who spent the day with us. Partners included The Nature Conservancy, which brought a Montana Conservation Corps crew to help; Sunlight Sports, which provided snacks and water; and Marathon Oil, which hauled-off all the netwire and took it for recycling. Folks from Trout Creek Ranch, Winding Pathways of Cedar Rapids and the MCC crew volunteered to be small group leaders and help teach others to fence. In addition to interested community members, volunteers from Wyoming Migration Initiative, Absaroka Outdoor Fellowship, Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Northwest Outdoor Club, Shoshone NF, Cody Next Generation, and Buffalo Bill Center of the West all volunteered to help.

32 of Scottsdale's Most Eligible Singles Sent 50 Kids with Muscular Dystrophies to MDA Summer Camp in Camp Shadow Pines in Phoenix Matchmaker Roseann Higgins’ First Annual SPIES Cupid's Cure Fundraiser! Over 300 Valley’s single professionals mingled and bought silent auction items at the SPIES Cupid’s Cure Fundraising Social at Devil’s Martini in Old Town Scottsdale. It costs $525 to send one child to young adult age 6-21 with muscular dystrophies to a week long camp with lots of fun group activities, including wheelchair basketball and a mock Amazing Race and barbecues. Each camper is assigned their own individual camp counselor to look after their every need and everything is paid for. The first annual event raised approximately $26,000 and sent 50 of the ~88 kids to 2005’s Camp Shadow Pines in the woods by Payson, Arizona.
The event was the collaboration of matchmaker Roseann Higgins of SPIES and Laura Czarzasty from MDA. Laura made the first move and had the idea of doing an event for Valentine’s Day! That girl makes things happen and has a heart of gold!
Roseann Higgins is President of Matchmaking A Difference Foundation. With the help of hundreds of volunteers and donors, over $250,000 in community service projects and donations have been completed.
She’d coordinated a homeless shelter project remodel and support with the help of hundreds of amazing volunteers for CASS Central Arizona Shelter Services in 2002 that was valued at $100,000.
In 2005, Roseann was already super-connected as an 11-year matchmaker - Founder and President of SPIES Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective. The 32 singles who reached out to their circles to raise money, sell tickets, obtain silent auction items did such a fabulous job.
Huge thanks to fundraisers former NHL player Jocelyn Lemieux for bringing out Jeremy Roenick to sign a golf back that night at the event and who donated a foursome with the two of them at Whisper Rock and Paola Embry from Paola’s Wine Bar at Christopher’s Restaurant at the Biltmore Fashion Park for raising money and coming down to the FOX 10 News Station to help promote the event and raise more money to send kids with muscular dystrophies to camp!

Note From Roseann:
We hope you enjoy this and the other videos and photos we are sharing as we celebrate 21 years meeting extraordinary people and introducing true loves. Our couples have traveled the world, begun families and even had grandchildren since we opened the doors to SPIES matchmaking service and began hunting for true loves at business, charity and social events in 1994.
Thanks for the memories! <3
