America 250 Greatest American Cleanup - Howell Branch Preserve

Celebrate Earth Month and honor America 250 by joining the nationwide Greatest American Cleanup, a signature initiative of Keep America Beautiful. As communities across the country prepare to commemorate 250 years of American history, this cleanup effort invites volunteers to take part in a collective national goal: removing 25 billion pieces of litter from parks, waterways, neighborhoods, and public spaces by July 4, 2026. Your participation helps create a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful environment for future generations.

On April 4th, volunteer to help clean up one of five locations in the City of Winter Park:

• MLK Park
• Ward Park
• Downtown Winter Park
• Baldwin Park
• Howell Branch Preserve

Join neighbors and fellow community members in clearing litter from parks and surrounding neighborhoods. All supplies—including safety vests, gloves, and trash bags—will be provided. A water cooler will be available; please bring a reusable bottle. To help reduce emissions, we encourage walking, biking, or carpooling to your chosen site.

Volunteers selecting the Howell Branch Preserve location will meet at the pavilion next to the playground.

A waiver form is required for all participants.

• Volunteers under 18 must have a parent/guardian present at check‑in to sign a minor waiver.
• Volunteers 12 and under must have a parent/guardian remain for the entire event.
