Come celebrate National Public Lands Day by helping Ranger Derik Clean Up Gila River!!
The cleanup will take place just across the street from the nature center down on the research trail that accesses the river but we will be meeting at the nature center first to fill up on water, hand out tools, trash bags and go aver the clean up plan for the morning. We will then caravan over to the parking lot that accesses the river (if you can carpool that would be helpful and allow some spots to remain open for other park visitors). Bathrooms and water will be available at the Nature Center but not at the work site. Please bring plenty of water with you and if you have a pair of work gloves or gardening gloves feel free to bring them along. We will spend 3 hours removing trash that has been dumped or washed down the river over the course of a year. Maricopa County parks is a proud partner with Leave No Trace and with your help we can keep our parks clean and protect the wildlife that calls the Sonoran Desert home. MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center lobby
As a way to say "Thank You" all volunteers will receive free admission to the park for the entire day!
