Keep Tipton County Beautiful

Just a few more pictures that I grabbed from yesterday at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region (Covington) Birds and Bees camp! We had such a great time! Thank you for having us out!

☀️🌻 Kicking Off Summer the Right Way! 🐝🦋

Today we officially kicked off our summer recycling camp season at Atoka Railroad Adventure, and what a fantastic morning it was!

Our campers got creative by making their own bird feeders (eating the product was a plus as well 🤪) and decorating their bags with everything from beautiful pollinator flowers to butterflies, bees, and even a few favorite cartoon characters (because creativity has no limits! 😄).

Deanna Webb with Hometown Realty read a book about litter in Tennessee and we had a great discussion about why it’s important to keep our communities clean. The kids participated in a fun Q&A session where they shared what items are considered litter, what animals can be affected by litter, and what materials can and cannot be recycled. We were so impressed by how much they already knew and how eager they were to learn more!

To wrap up the day, the campers enjoyed Pollinator Bingo, exploring the park and searching for pollinators in their natural habitat.

There is nothing better than watching young minds learn, explore, and connect with nature while having fun. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first camp of the summer, we can’t wait to see what adventures the rest of the season brings!
