Join us for a particularly trashy cleanup at the confluence of Sandy Creek and New Hope Creek at Garrett Rd on Sunday, June 1 from 9:30AM-11:30AM!
We recently discovered large deposits of trash in a floodplain underneath Garrett Road, and posted about it on Instagram. We need your help to clean up literal decades of built up trash that have poured into New Hope Creek and Sandy Creek via storm drains.
Bring your boots and wear your long pants, because this cleanup is taking place in an entirely wooded area and requires a short (50 ft) hike through tall grass. This event is not recommended for volunteers under the age of 10.
Parking is available at Fred Astaire Dance Studios (4702 Garrett Rd). Volunteers will need to cross Garrett Rd to get to the project area. All necessary supplies will be provided, including gloves, but please come prepared with a reusable water bottle, hat, sunscreen/bugspray, and a small backpack for carrying personal items.
