Saturday, March 23 marked the third Shepherd Parkway
community clean-up in as many months.
Participants included a boisterous group from the
Wild Bunch Sports Bike Club of Maryland, and American University's Zeta Psi fraternity.
During the February clean-up, a huge pile of tires and
trash bags was left at the bottom of the escarpment below LeBaum Street because it was
too slippery to haul up. Fifteen volunteers formed a chain to move it all up to
the street, while others pulled dozens of bags full of trash off the slope just
to the north. In total, we removed an
estimated 200 tires and 300 bags of trash from the forest.
A small but enthusiastic group from University of
Maryland rescued trees south of Malcolm X Avenue from invasive English Ivy.
Spring has sprung, and Shepherd Parkway is growing
healthier and more beautiful with every clean-up event.
Mark your calendars now
for our next best chance on Saturday, April 20 from 10 am to 1 pm.
The job is immense but every little bit
counts. We need you, and your friends.
