This cleanup will be in and around Hiawatha Park. Lots of trees with overgrown suckers growing out of them encroaching on the sidewalk and creating many hazards due to diminished line-of-sight. We'll meet on the northeast corner of the park where you'd enter by the wading pool on Lander.

This cleanup with an emphasis on sprucing up a neighborhood. Like usual we’ll pick litter as we go, but the main focus will be on tidying up where foliage is encroaching or overtaken sidewalks and reducing visibility, where leaves and debris are clogging storm drains and piling on stairs, or weeds are coming up through cracks and creating hazards. The goal will be to create a safer, tidier environment with curb appeal and better line of sight.

Cut material will be placed into yard waste bags or on some of these cleanups we can find areas to place clippings to biodegrade. We’ll start work at the Lander & Walnut intersection and spread out from there.

I’ll have some tools to start with but if you have hand clippers, kneeling pads and hand tools you use at home, those would be good to bring. I’ll bring rakes, a hedge trimmer, weed whacker, a leaf blower, etc and we’ll build our toolset over time.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. 206-852-9552
