Watershed Clean-up Day - Huntley Meadows Park, VA
Saturday, April 6, 2013 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Give the waterways in your community a clean bill of health!

Harvard Club member Colette Hodes is a naturalist at the Huntley Meadows Park in Virginia and invites you to participate in the park's spring clean up on April 6th.

We will help clear out the earth’s arteries by collecting tires, bottles, cans and other debris. Give the waterways in your
community a clean bill of health and earn the gratitude of your furred, feathered and scaled neighbors. Wear boots, old clothes and bring gloves. Trash bags and appreciation provided. This is a great community service project!

Volunteers should meet at the main parking lot of Huntley Meadows Park by 9 am. Older children are welcome, but must be supervised by adults, as the clean-up will take place along a stream and a busy road withtraffic.

Huntley Meadows Park is located at Harrison Lane and Lockheed Boulevard in Alexandria. One of the largest parks in Fairfax County, it contains more than 1,425 acres of diverse habitats including wetlands, meadows and mature forest. The park's animal residents include fox, deer, beaver, otter and over 200 species of birds. Directions to Huntley Meadows Park are at:
