Short Description of Activity

Reflection/Evaluation
It was difficult work and I couldn’t get anyone in the Broadband to help. But I have been reaching out for over a year to build relationships and finally got invited to help on this project thanks to attending a relational meeting with Robyn, Farley, and Ben. It’s a 3 year project, so I think we’ll be invited in the future to plant native plants, trees, and seed balls- with more 4Corners Broadband support, I hope.
