Jobs for volunteers of all ages and ability levels will be available. A team of volunteers in canoes will check the lake and canal for tires and trash, while volunteers in hip boots will clean up streams. On foot, volunteers will cover the trails and borders of the park.
This event, in conjunction with PennDOT's Great Pennsylvania Cleanup Day, will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 1 p.m. Lunch will be included. The Dauphin County Parks and Recreation Department will provide a limited number of canoes, paddles, life jackets and hip boots. Gloves and safety vests will be available for all participants.
There is no cost to participate in the clean-up, but pre-registration is required. To register or for further information about this and other programs, call the Olewine Nature Center at 221-0292.
