LESS: Frank O’Dell Arbor Day Picnic

The 12th Annual Frank O’Dell Arbor Day Picnic, organized by the Lakeside Environmental Stewardship Society (LESS), will take place 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4 at the Pavilion Jennings East Deck. This picnic is open to all.

LESS is an organization of volunteers whose primary objective is alerting Lakesiders to the ever-increasing need for environmental awareness among all who enjoy the beauty of nature and wish to preserve this very special place.

One of the major concerns of LESS is the preservation and replacement of trees, thus the name Arbor Day Picnic for this annual event. It is also named in honor of Dr. Frank O’Dell, one of the founders of LESS and its first president.

This will be a carry-in/carry-out event. Please bring everything you need (food, drinks, table service, etc.). An annual feature of the picnic is the tree quiz with prizes for the winners as well as a guest speaker.
