Almost Anything Award - October 2020 - Greg Feeny

Greg Feeny and friends have taken it upon themselves to beautify the Interurban Trail that runs from Springfield to Chatham. Under the auspices of the Friends of the Sangamon Valley (FOSV) and Springfield Park District, Greg has been removing unwanted exotic species like honeysuckle along the trail, and restoring the areas with native Illinois flowers, grasses, shrubs and trees. Because the plantings needed water, Greg lugged one gallon jugs – four at a time - on his bicycle to deliver water to the areas.
