It's been almost exactly one year since we did a cleanup along Chicken Neck. The weeds are creeping up and some of the bank is slipping down into the hill just a bit, making the sidewalk ugly and less accessible to dog walkers, joggers and strollers along that part of National Road. This effort will be easier if you can bring flat shovels, pruners, and brooms. Electric leaf blowers would be a bonus! Bring your buckets.

Now it's time to tackle the other side of the creek. This is a bit more challenging a task because the bank is a little steep. Please join us if you're up to the challenge!

We will request police support again to help alert drivers to our work and keep things safe. Bring buckets and litter pickup tools.
