Park, Stream and Street Cleanup
April 11th, 12:30-3pm
Afterparty, 3-4pm
Volunteers will clean up in and around a park in a traditionally underserved part of Charlotte. Staff from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will also be on site to lead portions of the group to clean up around the park and in a nearby stream. KCB staff will lead some volunteers in a clean up of the neighboring streets.
Camp Greene Park, 1221 Alleghany St, Charlotte, NC 28208
There is plenty of parking at the park.
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and close-toed shoes that they wouldn’t mind getting dirty; and bring a filled reusable water bottle, and a hat (if desired).
Volunteers will be provided safety vests, litter grabbers, gloves, trash bags, waders (for those going in the stream), water, snacks, sunscreen, and insect repellant.
This is a rain or shine event. In the case of inclement weather, the workday will resume the following day, Fri. April 12, 12:30-3pm.
Contact your team representative for any questions leading up to the event.
