Union County - Echo Lake Park Gets Cold-Weather TLC From Student Volunteers
A large group of students from Kean University braved frigid temperatures to help spruce up Echo Lake Park last weekend.
A large group of students from the Kean University Center For Leadership & Service braved frigid temperatures to contribute to Union County’s Adopt-A-Park program last Sunday, November 16.
They removed old fencing and posts, cut back invasive plants, pruned native trees, and picked up trash and leaves in Echo Lake Park.

The Center for Leadership has been a regular partner with the Adopt-a-Park Program and the students will face the elements again for another project in December.
Most Adopt-a-Park projects are conducted in milder weather, so a special thanks goes out to this group. To find out how your company, organization, or school can join, visit ucnj.org, call 908-789-3683 or emailbkelly@ucnj.org.
