NORTH MOUNTAIN PARK Kiwanis and Lions clubs team up Donations support nature, history education Comment By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Dec. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM By Local report Posted Dec. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Two of Ashland’s service organizations teamed up again this year to help the North Mountain Park Nature Center. On Dec. 15, the Ashland Kiwanis Club and the Ashland Lions Club each presented a $500 check to the Nature Center to support their School Program Scholarships Fund. This is the sixth consecutive year the two clubs have teamed up for these donations, for a total of $6,000 donated in that time. This fund was initiated in the fall of 2010 as a way to support K-5 field trips to North Mountain Park Nature Center. The field trip programs are taught in fall and spring and cover six local topics: geology, water, plants, animals, Native Americans and history. All field trips teach appreciation for and stewardship of the local natural environment. Teachers are asked to raise some classroom funds to pay for these field trips. However, thanks to the scholarship fund, all teachers who register for programs may request a scholarship to cover up to 50 percent of their fee. Ashland Kiwanis offers many programs to support children and community activities. Ashland Lions’ main focus is to improve sight and hearing, eradicate preventable blindness, and improve education relative to those concerns. To learn more about Kiwanis, call Ron at 541-488-0532. To learn more about Lions, call Pete at 541-482-2515.
