February 24  //  Hearts Landing Ranch, Granite Bay 

Students and host families from International Student Exchange volunteered at Hearts Landing Ranch—which is owned by a local family and being transformed into a healthy, fun, mentoring environment for the community—by planting “lasagna gardens” and learning how horses can be therapeutic for youth and adults.
