After the pandemic, TCNJ XE was finally back working at the Watershed Institute on April 16th. We spent the morning clearing overgrowth and making room for a new overflow parking lot. It was hard, but also very rewarding work. We would like to thank the Watershed Institute for allowing us to help today.
