Through the chilly weather of March, generous volunteers were giving back to their community in Greenbelt. On Saturday, March 17, a litter cleanup event was held at the Sunrise Tract of the Greenbelt Forest Preserve, adjacent to the Greenbelt Dog Park. Organized and sponsored by the City of Greenbelt Department of Public Works and the Greenbelt Forest Preserve Advisory Board, 21 volunteers, including members of the Forest Preserve Advisory Board, removed 600 pounds of trash. Items removed included tires, scrap metal, glass bottles and aluminum cans.
That wasn’t the only volunteer cleanup held in March. On Saturday, March 24, a litter pickup was held at the new trail off Cherrywood Lane, across the street from the Shell gas station. Six volunteers helped remove 144 pounds of litter in just two hours.
