    Description

    Park Cleanup at Pogue's Run Park

    Help keep Central Indiana clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, especially our feathered friends! Volunteers will work together to collect litter, remove debris, and help improve the appearance and health of our green spaces.

    Pogue’s Run Park has good creekside bird habitat, but discarded fishing line and other trash is an issue for any birds who use the space. Open to ages 11 and up, but children must be accompanied by an adult.

    PREPARATION & ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS: Tools will be provided, but remember your own water, and dress for outdoor activity. This workday requires standing, maneuvering over flat and uneven terrain, bending, kneeling, lifting, and takes place in sun/heat/humidity/chilly weather. You may bring gloves or use ours as provided.

    LOCATION: Meet at Pogue’s Run Art and Nature Park in Indianapolis. Pat will provide more specific location details before the event.

    REGISTRATION: If you’re interested in volunteering at this event, email volunteer coordinator, Olivia Bautch, at engagement@birdallianceofcentralindiana.org to register. Curious about volunteer opportunities? Our volunteer page is live at https://www.birdallianceofcentralindiana.org/volunteer/
