Thirty-two volunteers gathered at Veteran’s Park on Saturday, March 22 to do a spring cleanup, focusing on Marumsco Creek and the wetlands. Volunteers removed 2,135 pounds of trash, including lots of bottles, cans, food wrappers, Styrofoam, plastic bags, balls, lumber with nails, 17 tires, a fire extinguisher, a 5 gallon bucket of stucco, a gallon of used motor oil, buckets, toys, and a whole lot more.
PWTSC volunteers worked to clear trails and complete other trail maintenance at Locust Shade Park on Feb 8. There were fallen trees on the trails in several places, including a section along the power line easement where clearing by utility crews had left trees blocking the trail. Locust Shade Park has a great network of trails, and they are ready to use!
We’re planning these events in 2014, providing opportunities for stewardship and public service, promoting outdoor recreation, and just having fun. We invite you to participate. Check our events listing for more information on these events as the dates approach.
