nature NATURE STEWARDSHIP INVASIVE FOR NATIVE TREE SWAP

Trade your invasive species in for a take-home native species!

Throughout April, we are celebrating Invasive Species awareness. Invasive species cause harm to our natural areas and displace native species. Native plants provide food and habitat to wildlife and they help clean our air and water.

Transform your backyard into a nature haven. In April, take a photo of the invasive(s) you have removed and submit your work to naturalresources@carmelclayparks.com for your opportunity to pick up a free native tree. We thank you for doing your part to better the ecosystem by removing invasive species and providing native habitat.

Bring a friend to clean up our popular Monon Trail and see who can get the most litter! Removing the litter from our trails will prevent animals from ingesting trash and will also keep the trail looking clean and beautiful.

DATE

Earth Day, founded in 1970 and now celebrated in over 193 countries, is aimed at demonstrating support for the environment and Earth’s precious natural habitats. In addition, spring is a great time to establish native plants, allowing them to mature with the spring rains and flourish with the warm weather to come. Join us in this family friendly event as we plant native tree species at West Park.

All are welcome to volunteer with this planting. Volunteers 16 years and under will require the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Making room for the authentic self to shine needs less judgment and more compassion. In this series participants will explore with a Drama Therapist the inner critic and how it drives our movement through the world. Participants will be invited to create masks representing that part of themselves.

Through monologue development exercises we will gain awareness of the inner critic, expanding the distance between it and the self. No theatre experience necessary, this is not performance driven, though participants are encouraged to share their work with the group. We hope you feel seen and heard here!

The Co-Ed Pickleball Ladder League format is designed to create new matchups each week and have players play with players of similar skill levels. Weekly rankings are based on performance.

Players will move up or down the ladder based on wins/losses (not points scored). Each week, players will start in groups of four in the order of ladder ranking. After each game to 11, the winning partnership will move up the ladder and the losing partnership will move down. Partners swap each game. There is a maximum of three wins each league night. After each team’s three games have been played, open play is allowed for the remainder of the time slot when courts are available.

FINANCIAL PLANNING AT ANY AGE

Having a financial plan in place is like a well-prepared coach that has a very detailed game plan to win a game. No matter what stage of life you are in, having a plan in place that looks at your whole financial picture is a key component to success with your money. Just like a coach makes mid game adjustments to a game plan; making proactive adjustments to your financial plan as life happens allows you potentially better outcomes.
