The Pennsauken Township Environmental Commission is hosting a community clean up of Tippin’s Pond on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

Volunteers will be picking up trash and cleaning brush from the nature trails, fishing dock and pond. Children are allowed to participate as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Gloves will be provided, but they are one size fits all, so bringing personal work gloves for youngsters is recommended. Since the pond and riverfront areas will be wet and the wooded area uneven, proper footwear is a must. The Commission also recommends wearing long pants to protect against the undergrowth. And a hat is never a bad idea.

Volunteers will receive grabbers and industrial trash bags to assist with the clean up. Water bottles will also be provided to participants.

This is a wonderful opportunity for residents, particularly young people, to realize the importance of keeping Pennsauken Township, and its green spaces, clean.

Tippin’s Pond is located at 419 Cove Rd., in Pennsauken. For more information, e-mail environcomm.pennsauken@gmail.com.
