Even nature needs a little spring cleaning! On Saturday, March 29th from 10am-12pm, join us for our annual Community Cleanup Day. We will be working along the roadside to pick up trash, clear fallen branches, and do some general tidying for the spring season. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

What to Bring
Gloves, bags, and tools will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own! Dress for the weather and pack a water bottle.

Meeting Place
Meet us at the corner of Hagy’s Mill Road and Port Royal Ave at 10 a.m. Look for our Schuylkill Center white welcome tent where our staff will meet you to share tools and instructions for cleaning up. Volunteers can park in our Hagy’s Mill Road lot, or towards the Roxborough Reservoir Parking Area.

Groups and walk-ins welcome, however registration is recommended for staying in the loop about any changes in plans due to weather.
