Volunteers Needed!

The Back Creek Conservancy has organized a "Project Clean Stream" event for our beloved Back Creek this Saturday, April 1st, from 9 a.m. to noon. There are many locations you can help out at, but if you are interested in cleaning up around Georgetown East Elementary or the SPCA, please let me know. If you can help, please register here.

Following is information about the day of cleanup
1 – Please arrive at the Ellen Moyer Nature Park at 9 a.m. at 7314 Edgewood Road in the upper parking lot to sign in.
2 – Please bring gloves. We have a few pairs to share but you will probably want your personal gloves.
3 – We will provide trash bags for you to use
4 – At sign-up folks will be assigned to a zone
5 – Scour your zone for rubbish.
6- The private properties listed on the map have agreed that 3 volunteers can enter their property and pick up trash. Please adhere to the 3 person rule. The public properties can have as many eople as necessary.
7 – DO NOT GO ON THE DOCKS! The water is cold and we don’t want folks falling in.
8 – At the end we want to weigh the amount of trash picked up. We will be coming around with a truck to retrieve your bags of trash. Please call the contacts below to schedule a pickup when the bags are full.
9 – When your area is clean, we thank you for your help. If you want to participate in a picture with the pile of trash, come back to the park when done. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
10 – If you need community service documentation, please indicate at registration and we will email the documentation to you.
