January 4-H Club Spotlight: Flock of Friends

January 26, 2021 Written by Delaware 4-H

“Flock of Friends” is a 4-H club that ranges in age from 5 to 12. We meet on the second Sunday of the month in Newark, Delaware. We are focused on Exploring 4H and finding areas of interest for our young members. We enjoy doing crafts and activities, giving back to the community and spending time with each other.  Our favorite events include holiday field trips to the Children’s Theatre in Philadelphia, scavenger hunts in the park and year-end BBQ pool parties sans COVID. 

Our members currently participate in Favorite Foods and Public Speaking but are looking to expand as they continue to learn and grow.  For more information, please contact the New Castle County 4-H Office at 302-831-2506.

    Lawns are the most irrigated “crop” in the U.S, covering approximately 40 million acres of land — twice as much as our national parks. They provide no nourishment to any species (except Japanese beetles), and they degrade the soil and watershed due to their shallow roots and the chemicals property owners use to kill weeds and insects and to maintain the color. While patches of lawn are useful for children and pets, most homeowners blanket their property with turf. The impact of this monoculture of lawn devastates the environment.
