Nature and Science in Northern New Jersey
PRC annual river clean up
Bloomingdale, New Jersey
10AM to 1PM on Saturday, August 22, 2009
Sloan Park
Hamburg Turnpike
Bloomingdale, New Jersey
rom our central starting point in Bloomingdale’s Sloan Park, volunteers will fan out to sites from West Milford to Pompton Lakes, sprucing up the Pequannock River and the land surrounding it. As always, we have tasks to suit everyone, young or old, big or small. Whether you like hauling mucky tires from the river bottom, or prefer handing out cold water to those who do, your skills will be put to good use. We need you!
And in case this sounds like plain, hard work, remember that our volunteers have a rousing good time. To help that attitude we will be handing out prizes for Dirtiest Volunteer, Most Interesting Trash, and our Public Service Awards for any public officials attending. So come on down! The event runs from 10AM to 1PM. A picnic lunch will be served at 1:00. We will be handing out gloves, bags, tools and a PRC T-shirt to every volunteer. Cold drinks are available all day.
Sloan Park is on Main Street (Hamburg Turnpike), across from Food World, about 2 miles north of Rt. 287. From Rt. 287, take exit 53 to Hamburg Turnpike, then north on Hamburg about 2 miles. The park is on your left. This is a rain-or-shine event. We are hoping for a great turnout. Please don’t miss this chance to give something back to our local environment. See you there!!
