Tanner Park in Copiague received its annual fall cleaning when students from Wilson Tech’s Republic Airport campus arrived on Oct. 22. Both morning and afternoon students in the SkillsUSA service organization removed garbage and planted fall flowers at the park’s entrance.
Students liked the idea of doing something for the community and enjoyed being one with nature on a crisp fall day. They will return in the spring for another clean-up.
