Volunteer Picks Up Litter For The Love Of The Park: Photo Of The Day

FREMONT, CA — The lakes, vegetation, wildlife and even the distant hills make Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area a treasure. And helping to keep the park at its best is Linda, who was photographed picking up trash there last December. Gregory told Patch, "Truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful people you will ever encounter, who told me she does this daily routine because she loves Quarry Lakes."

Thank you for sharing your photo and Linda's story!
