Looking for something to do on Saturday?
Join the South River Federation’s 2011 Project Clean Stream!
Saturday, April 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Home Depot, 55 Forest Plaza, Annapolis
Project Clean Stream, coordinated by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and partnering watershed organizations, is an annual stream and shoreline clean up. This event is held the first Saturday of April and engages community volunteers throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. By engaging volunteers in stream clean ups, we are promoting and reinforcing the direct relationship that cleaner, litter-free streams and woodlands result in a healthier, more beautiful Bay.
In 2010, more than 3,600 volunteers helped out at 140 cleanup sites, including a site hosted by the South River Federation along Beards Creek, to remove an estimated 118,000 pounds of trash and debris from streams and wooded areas throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This year, the goal is to have 4,000 volunteers remove 150,000 lbs of trash at 165 different sites.
Be one of the 4,000 people volunteering to clean up the Chesapeake Bay watershed on Saturday. Email Jennifer to signup and help clean up an area around Church Creek.
Special thanks to Home Depot for donating trash bags and to Bertucci’s for donating pizza for our volunteers to enjoy.
