🌿 New Location Update for Our Cleanup Event 🌿
🚧 Important Venue Change Announcement 🚧
Due to unexpected road closures at Chimney Rock, we've had to change the location of our much-anticipated cleanup event. But fret not! Our mission continues with even greater support at our new venue: Cunningham Falls State Park!
We're thrilled to announce that the dedicated rangers at Cunningham Falls State Park are fully backing our cleanup initiative. They've generously ensured parking availability, may open up otherwise closed roads if necessary, and are providing portable toilets at our cleanup sites. It’s all hands on deck for a cleaner, greener environment!

Date & Time: May 19th @ 10:00 AM
Upon arrival, volunteers will be warmly welcomed and divided into two groups to tackle different areas:
Youth Empowerment & Lakeside Care:
A special shout-out to the local Girl Scout troop joining us!
This team will embark on an educational journey around the beautiful Hunting Creek Lake. Expect a mini cleanup event tailored for our young environmentalists, complete with engaging lessons on nature conservation.
Historic & Campground Cleanup Crusade:
For our other brave volunteers, prepare to dive into a significant challenge.
A particular area near our meetup spot is grappling with an accumulation of historic and campground trash. The state park and our community would greatly benefit from our collective effort to restore this site to its natural beauty.
