Shake the winter blues

slippery Rock , Pa.

Shake off those winter blues by pitching in at Jennings Environmental Education Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 15 for the 11th annual Prairie Improvement Day.

The Jennings staff is looking for individuals willing to spend a Saturday morning outdoors to help manage the unique prairie ecosystem. For lunch, generous local restaurants will provide plenty of warm, hearty soup. Each participant will receive a commemorative soup mug as a special thank-you.

Participants must be 12 or older and should dress for the weather, including gloves and warm, waterproof boots. Register for this program no later than Jan. 7.
