Spring stream cleanups scheduled in Newtown Square, Drexel Hill

Spring is nearly here, and many have spring cleaning well under way. But Mother Nature may need a helping hand with that. In Newtown Township, just such efforts are already on the calendar.

Annual stream cleanup efforts have been scheduled, and organizers are now seeking volunteers to help.

The 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (CRC) will host its cleanup on 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟭, from 𝟵 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟭:𝟯𝟬 a.m. at 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘭 𝘓𝘰𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬 and those of all ages can lend a helping hand. 

“Certified Senior Ecologist and Wildlife Biologist 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗠𝗰𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘄 will be there to answer your questions about CRC’s initiatives,” explained a social media post from CRC. “Sign up to volunteer at CRC’s website. Trash bags will be provided!”

The opportunity to give back doesn’t stop there. The 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (DCVA) will have a similar event of its own, as spring gets underway. The DCVA cleanup is scheduled for 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟭, from 9 a.m. to noon.

According to the DCVA website, the Drexel Hill-based organization will host multiple Saturday cleanup events throughout the month of April. Those with questions can visit the site or email President Jaclyn Rhoads at [email protected].
