Earthcare: Project Clean Stream 2010

Project Clean Stream is an ongoing effort to keep our waterways clean.  Every April people gather to pick up trash. There are many sites in Maryland. Here are two in Southern Maryland. Enjoy a day outside!

Myrtle Point  (off Route 4 in St. Mary's County)

Please come out and join the Friends of Myrtle Point Park in our annual cleanup effort. This winter has deposited a lot of trash at the park and a spring cleaning is in order. Come to the park picnic area where we will have a sign in sheet. Here you will get your assignment, trash bags, water bottle (while supplies last) and work gloves. It is advisable to wear sturdy work clothes and shoes. If you have a group interested in helping please contact us in advance by calling Bob at 410-394-1300

Cosponsored by the Friends of Myrtle Point Park and the Sierra Club Southern Maryland Group
