Members of the Freshman Honors Society Alpha Lambda Delta will plant trees on a property owned by Robert Ackerman in New Alexandria that had previously been strip-mined. The planting is a function of Project 400, an initiative that encourages every person to plant 400 trees during their lifetime. (Directions from Greensburg: 119 N to 22 East to intersection with 981, left onto 981N - Approx. 1 mile (down hill) to beginning of property on right. Property is marked by two stone pillars & an open iron gate. Inside gate is "Forest Stewardship" sign. 1 mile of gravel driveway to project site.)

The Seton Hill Chemistry Club will clean up 2.5 miles of SR1049 that runs through the Twin Lakes Park area off Donohue Road. The Chem Club is responsible for this stretch of road through the Adopt-A-Highway program.
