Thank you Amazon Fulfillment Center Volunteers

We welcomed an enthusiastic group of volunteers from the Prince George Amazon Fulfillment Center for an afternoon of clean-up and limb trimming at the Prince George Appomattox River Regional Park! The park was beautifully spruced-up and ready for visitors when done. If you would like more information about volunteering with FOLAR, contact Elise at ENeuscheler@folar-va.org.
