Clean-up Day Details
Now that you have decided to join us for the stream clean-up, thank you! You may be wondering how the day will go and what you will need to bring, wear, and do. It is a very easy process. This page has all the information you will need to know, but feel free to call 301-809-3043 or email Watershed Manager Tiffany Wright, if you have any questions.
What to wear:
Because you may be working in the woods, on rugged terrain and near/in streams, we recommend boots or sturdy shoes that can get wet. Because of the vegetation along the stream channels, long sleeves and long pants are recommended as well.
Supplies Provided:
We provide all supplies you will need -- gloves, bags, and hand sanitizer. We also usually have a small number of trash grabbers that are available.
What to bring:
- Release form - You must bring the release form with you. Without the release form, we cannot allow you to participate. Minors must have a parent's or guardian's signature. You can download the release form here. If you forget to bring it that morning, extra forms will be available at your site.
- Student Service Learning (SSL) form - If you or someone you are bringing needs student service learning hours through the Prince George's County School System, please bring a completed copy of the most updated form with you. The leader or staff member at the site will sign the form before you leave.
- Other items - Volunteers have found that bug spray, water, hats, and snacks have been helpful.
