Sunday the cubs had a chance to visit the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center and get a guided tour of the shoreline and the many things that make it special.
Perched on stilts above a salt marsh, the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center is your introduction to the ecology of the San Francisco Bay Estuary. It features exhibits, programs, and activities designed to inspire a sense of appreciation, respect, and stewardship for the bay, its inhabitants, and the services they provide. After getting an overview of the park and its features, join a naturalist on one of the many weekend interpretive programs offered.
As part of their visit, the cubs also picked up trash that had gathered in the estuary. Donning gloves and trash bags, scouts gather up several bags worth of garbage including paper, Styrofoam, rubber, plastic, clothes, metals, and some unknown items.
Cub Scout pack 603 and Boy Scout troop 612 of San Lorenzo have performed Christmas tree curbside pickup and recycling as our primary fundraiser for many years. Your donations are a critical part of our ability to provide a quality Scouting program for local youth. We thank you for your support.
The next tree recycling pickup is
Saturday January 2nd 2016 and includes portions of the San Lorenzo Village area. We pickup your tree curbside – no reservation required for residents within our Coverage area map.
Leaving Your Tree for Curbside Pickup –
The Do’s
Please place your donation in the envelope that was attached to your flyer. The suggested donation is $15-$30 per tree. All your donations go directly to fund the local Scouting programs here in San Lorenzo. This is our main fundraiser for the year and we appreciate your support! Please make checks payable to “Boy Scouts of America”.
Seal the envelope and place it on the bottom of the tree with a rubber band. Also please consider putting the envelope inside a small ziploc bag in bad weather.
Please place the tree curbside in front of your residence. If that is not possible, place the tree at the nearest cross street corner. Trees need to be out before 9 AM before pickup begins.
The Don’ts
For safety reasons, we cannot accept trees with tinsel, flocked trees, trees with nails, artificial trees, wreaths with metal shape wires, or trees with any other metal attached. Thank you for your understanding.
