Park & Recreation teams up with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services, to conduct a thorough litter cleanup of McAlpine Creek Park/Greenway and McAlpine Creek! You can choose to work along the Greenway and in the Park, or to focus on cleaning up the stream itself.
THANK YOU for choosing to Volunteer with Park & Recreation! Below are a few tips and reminders for a SAFE & PRODUCTIVE Volunteer experience:
- Volunteers should be at least 10 years old; anyone under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by a parent/adult. An adult must acknowledge the Liability Waiver for anyone under 18 years old.
- Wear long pants for protection from scratches.
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes – REQUIRED, NO sandals or flip-flops. Wear OLDER shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, wet or muddy. *If you plan to Volunteer by cleaning the STREAM, waterproof boots or water shoes are best.
- Wear heavy-duty work gloves – bring your own gloves for health and safety.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen for protection from sun exposure; and your preferred bug spray, if needed.
- Face coverings are now optional, especially outdoors, when in the vicinity of other people. Please use your own judgment, understanding that there is still some risk regarding Covid-19.
- Bring your own water in a large, refillable water bottle; to stay hydrated, avoid the need to refill, and to protect the environment from single-use plastic bottles. A water cooler for refilling will be available.
