Volunteer Opportunity: Earth Day Gardening and Cleanup - Friends of Indian River (Chesapeake)

iCal

LOG HOURS TO: Clean Up Projects/ City / Local Park Stewardship – Friends of Indian River Projects

Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025

Time: 9 AM to Noon

Location:  Meet at Lilac Avenue and Indian River Road. Park along Lilac Avenue by the Norfolk Highlands Primary School.

Event Description:

To recognize Earth Day this year, we will be working around Oaklette Bridge and Blue Heron Landing Park.  We will be weeding and mulching the roadside gardens, doing a cleanup along the park shoreline and under the bridge, and working to remove some invasive English Ivy.

Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat and bring work gloves and other items that may be useful.  Bring your favorite hand weeding tool, if you have one. We will have water and snacks but we also always encourage folks to bring their own water in reusable bottles to minimize use of plastic bottles. Participants under 18 years of age must have adult supervision.
