PARSIPPANY — Audra Crane, 7, was upset by the amount of garbage she saw when walking to and from Intervale School so she invited friends and neighbors to help clean up the woods.
She wanted to clean up so “the plants and animals can survive in their own habitat.”
The children collected twelve bags of garbage, separating recyclables for trash.

Manor Park is located on Bell Road off Parsippany Boulevard. It contains a softball field, two basketball courts, a children’s play area and a walking path.
