— Matthew Nance, 11, was one of about 20 children and adults from the Gentry Outdoor Adventures 4-H Club who came out to the Eagle Watch Nature Area on Saturday to plant host and nectar plants for pollinators, put the butterfly garden "back together" after the flood and weed most of the flower beds.

"I'm so thankful for the work they did today," said Terry Stanfill, who manages the nature area for SWEPCO's Flint Creek Power Plant. The Bloomfield 4-H and the recentlyformed Outdoor Adventures 4-H Clubs have put in many hours helping at the nature area.
