Our first Sights and Sounds of Spring took us to Woodland Drive, the two creeks and parts of the Rail Trail. We were blessed with some sun and no rain between 6:30 and 8 pm after a day full of rain. Everyone was anxious to get out and enjoy the beginning of spring as we had a great turnout with 18 attendees.
