CLEAN UP and SAVE OUR STREAMS DAY

October 22, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

Meet at the Goodwill picnic shelter at 2502 Melrose Avenue. We are again partnering with Clean Valley Council to do a Horton’s Branch Watershed Clean Up AND a Save Our Streams training. We will certainly look at our environment with great intention on that date to not only remove litter but to study the quality of water through invertebrate observations and monitoring. The creek we will clean is adjacent to the Goodwill Youth HQs. Come and learn to see with a new kind of purpose! We will then track the changes over time as we follow the impact of our project. This will be a community engagement event.

8:30 to 9:00 – Gather, sign In, get your gloves and grabbers and bags.
9:00 to 10:30 – Clean up the Watershed either right in the creek (wearing boots) or Melrose Avenue or Lafayette Blvd.
11:00 to 12:30 – Save Our Streams activity: learning how to monitor the water quality by looking for the invertebrates.

Please invite your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. And, please RSVP.
