Hi everyone! This is The Forest Park Forever Nature Works Crew.
Left to right: Marsean, Daijah, Aviana, Brogan, Harry, Drachen, Marcus, Rashaun, Riley, Kalyn, and Rickell
We work in the Forest Park waterways and the surrounding area maintaining, improving, and restoring Missouri’s native species while eliminating invasive species. Nature Works is a teen youth program aimed towards giving students the opportunity to learn and better the environment. We are a group of teenagers from the St. Louis metro area ranging from the ages of 16-18.
To better introduce ourselves, here is a list of some of our favorite things:
- Marsean likes basketball and gaming
- Daijah and Aviana were not consulted for this list, but we will ask them what their favorite things are and update when we find out
- Brogan likes puppies, snow cones and Napoleon Dynamite
- Harry enjoys fine dining at exquisite establishments such as West End Wok
- Drachen enjoys gaming and horticulture
- Marcus does landscape design and DJs in his spare time
- Rashaun loves listening to music
- Riley chopped down a dead tree with a hammer in only 3 days
- Kalyn likes hiking and being in her hammock
- Rickell likes sitting down to a homestyle meal of mac n’ cheese
That is our whole crew! Thank you for reading — we will catch you later! In the meantime, you can read more about us at www.forestparkforever.org/natureworks
