Earth Day was celebrated with flying colors at Elachee Nature Science Center in Gainesville as three groups showed up on a sunny Saturday to offer their elbow grease and get their hands dirty in the soil. One group was made of Girl Scouts, another of American Heritage Girls from Sugar Hill and another from the University of North Georgia. The UNG students were there to fulfill community service hours for their environmental science class.
