Volunteers sought for Watershed Cleanup day
STATE COLLEGE -- Individuals, families, and groups are sought to participate in for the 28th annual Watershed Cleanup Day. The event will be held during Earth Day weekend from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 20.
Since 1997, event volunteers have removed more than 6 million pounds of waste from local roads, streams, sinkholes, and illegal dumpsites. Volunteers at this year's event will have the opportunity to work at a variety of sites across Centre County to remove trash that could otherwise end up in local waterways.
Volunteers can sign up as an individual or a group. There are two volunteer options for Watershed Cleanup Day: site coordinator and general volunteer. Site coordinators are needed to help organize volunteers before and during cleanup at more than 50 sites across Centre County. General volunteers work together as a group alongside their site coordinator to clean up each area. Site assignments are made based on group size, ages, and home municipality as well as need for pickup. Many sites are along roads but not major highways.
For more information and to register, visit www.clearwaterconservancy.org/wcd. Registration is open until April 12.
