Lower Macleay Trail Litter Cleanup & Nature Walk
Details
Description
Please join SOLVE and Naturalist Rebecca Lexa for a litter cleanup and trail walk at Lower Macleay Park! We will meet at the park trailhead for check-in and supply distribution. Volunteers will spend the first hour cleaning up litter in the surrounding neighborhood. After the first hour, we will meet back at check-in and walk along the Lower Macleay Trail together, where Rebecca will walk us through the local flora and fauna native to our backyard. We'll continue to pick up any litter we find along the way.
This event is a wonderful opportunity to not only care for our environment together, but also to immerse ourselves in the forest and learn the names of the species we are caring for. We hope to see you there!
Advanced Registration: Is highly suggested but not required. Please sign up ahead of time to guarantee your spot.
Meeting Location: Volunteers will be meeting at Lower Macleay Park, at the left side of the roundabout near the bridge and covered picnic tables. Look for SOLVE tables and signs.
