GARY NEW DULUTH, Minn. – Getting kids off cell phones, and into the forest. It’s a goal of one teacher in the Gary New Duluth neighborhood as the community’s rec center continues to host Nature Nights.
“In spring, kids should smell like dirt,” said Leslie Bucar, youth director at the Gary New Duluth Rec Center.
You can practically smell the excitement at the Gary New Duluth Rec Center.

Earlier today, large concrete blocks were delivered to the site to help build a 95-foot retaining wall.
More than $300,000 have been invested in the skate park, while they need about $350 thousand more to complete the project.
“I think people look at this project and they see how important it is to bring some vitality back to this part of Duluth,” said Fran Morris, a board member of GND Development Alliance. “There’s a lot of nice places to build a home, there’s a lot of young families moving in.”
