Call for volunteers to join wildlife education group

Mary Lou Simms is starting a group, Friends of Geese and Ducks of Hoover and Helena, and asking for volunteers. The group’s mission would include educating the public about city wildlife and garnering the involvement of local schools through various wildlife projects.

“The group would help students learn to respect and appreciate those birds that share our communities and for growing numbers of us, our lives,” Simms said.

 Another goal is better management of the geese and ducks at Star and Howard Lakes. Email or call Simms if interested at 267-2149 or mlsimms123@yahoo.com.
