Here are the results from the 2009 Air Potato Raid!!  Thanks to everyone who made the Air Potato Raid possible!  We had over 30 organizational volunteers through Natural Lands and the Friends of the Environmental Studies Center make the event happen!  A HUGE thank you to these volunteers!

Over 635 participants collected over 8,400* pounds of potatoes from Spring Hammock Preserve!!

Attached is the excel spreadsheet with the totals for the teams.  This will be posted on the web by the end of the week at the website listed below.
