Because of the inclement weather forecast for Saturday, the Township’s Spring Clean-Up and Nature Day has been moved to Sunday, April 16. The times and locations will not change.
The Pennsauken Environmental Commission and the Township’s Parks and Recreation Department will be holding a spring clean-up and nature day on Sunday, April 16. Held from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 75 volunteers will be split between four locations: Tippin’s Pond, the boat ramp at Derousse Ave., Madison Park, and the Burrough-Dover House. In addition, kids will be able to enjoy fun nature activities at both Tippin’s Pond and Burrough-Dover House.
“Each year, volunteers from our community come out and get some of Pennsauken’s great outdoor spaces ready for warm weather activities. We’re also excited to share some fun activities for kids as part of nature day,” explained Juan Vazquez, the Township’s parks and recreation coordinator. “This is a great project for community groups and young people who need service hours. We hope you’ll join us!”
Each person, family, or team participating in the clean-up will be provided with trash bags, a bucket, gloves (one size fits all), and trash pickers. It is suggested that volunteers wear boots, along with old clothes (long-sleeved shirts and pants), as individuals can get muddy and dirty. These clean-ups may be canceled/postponed due to weather 24 hours prior to the event.
If a volunteer feels ill within 24 hours of the event; comes in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is waiting for test results; and/or have personally tested positive for COVID-19 or are awaiting test results, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department at the contact information below and stay home.
