Cleanup in North College Park, Hollywood

The Committee of a Better Environment, in partnership with the Alice Ferguson Foundation and the Anacostia Watershed Society, are hosting a cleanup in the North College Park, Hollywood section, along the Narragansette Run floodway.

Volunteers will divide into two groups:

1. Cleanup light: Walk down Narragansett Parkway from Edgewood Road to the start of the stream at Mangum. Pick up trash on the banks and in the stream from there to 52^nd Ave.
2. More adventurous cleanup: Those who don’t mind wading in the water can pick up trash in the stream and on the banks, starting from 52^nd Avenue to the railroad tracks. This is a little more of a challenge due to dense brush along the stream, deeper water, etc.

Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. Wear or bring knee-high boots in case you need them. If you have a reusable water bottle, please bring it; we’ll supply the water, along with light refreshments, bags for trash, and gloves.

If you plan to participate, please RSVP to janiso@erols.com or call and leave a message at 240-888-6972 with your name and contact information (to be notified in case of changes).
