To the editor:
A letter was published recently concerning the land acquired by the Kids on Wheels group. I am a member of the KOW committee and a Brown County parent. I realize the necessity of preserving ecosystems, for I’m a retired biology teacher, Master Gardener/naturalist, and avid lover of the environment.
Our group has many goals for the teen park, and we have always discussed the need to save the trees, wildflowers and other hidden beauties of the property. In addition to the skateboarding area we will welcome teachers, students, naturalists and families to use the property for exploration and educational purposes.
We have only taken the first step, which is obtaining a purchase agreement with the seller, so we still need to raise money to make the park a reality.
You can help Kids on Wheels win a $20,000 grant and get one step closer to their dream by voting for “Nashville, Indiana” in the Disney Meet Me at the Park online competition. We need all adults ages 18 and older to vote and help us secure this money!
Go to this website: NRPA.org/DisneyMeetMeAtThePark
And vote for “Nashville, Indiana.”
Thank you,
Karen Scott, Brown County
