“This is a great opportunity for the community lend a hand in sprucing-up our parks following the long winter season,” stated Parks & Recreation Director LuAnn Maisner. “We welcome and appreciate our community’s support!”
This event is an opportunity for large community groups and/or individuals to help celebrate the Township Park System by cleaning up local parks, land preserves, trails and other public spaces. Volunteers will help plant flowers, mulch playgrounds and gardens, pick up trash, weed and rake baseball infields, remove invasive species and more.
