Conservation staff presented an administrative update showing they compiled reservation and program attendance numbers from MyCountyParks. Naturalists reported heavy activity: in‑school programs have shifted toward field trips, Star Lab pop‑ups ran successfully, a new education trailer is completed, and Spring Fling drew good attendance over the past weekend.
