Hervida Chip and Seal Project Underway
The Marietta Community Foundation provided a $25,000 grant to fund the majority of a chip and seal project at Hervida 4-H Camp. Other donors have come along side Hervida to fully complete the project so all of the Hervida roads will be resurfaced. This will make Hervida and the facilities more accessible for all campers!
