Sweep the Creek: Whole Watershed Clean-up, Multiple Sites!

LFWA is joining forces with the Westmoreland Hills Garden Club and other area groups to clean the whole watershed. Come for an hour or two, come on time, come late, leave early or stay the entire time - whatever suits your schedule is perfect for us. We have bags and gloves to share and even some boots. Come prepared to get muddy! Bring grabbers if you have some to reach trash in trees and other hard to get spots.

Pre-approved for SSL hours for MCPS. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult supervisor.
