RTR is hosting a volunteer cleanup crew for Monroe County Pick up the Parks day. Our choice this year is Mendon Ponds Park which is the most heavily traveled by horse traffic! This is an unmounted event.
We ask volunteers to arrive at 8:30am to get signed in and complete safety waivers.
At 9:00am the park supervisor will begin distributing jobs and locations within the park they would like you to focus on. The jobs you can be expected to perform are: trash and litter pick up, raking sticks or leaves, picking up large rocks, sweeping out shelters or lodges, and in some locations weeding and mulching are needed.
Events are rain or shine. Unless extreme weather occurs, we will not postpone the events.
What Is Pick Up The Parks?
Help clean up the parks from the winter accumulation of trash and debris, reduce litter entering our local waterways, and help get the parks looking great for spring and summer.
Specific jobs include:
- Picking up trash/litter and/or loading up trucks to take trash off-site
- Raking/picking up debris (leaves, sticks, and rocks)
- Additional duties such as sweeping shelter & lodge areas and hard surfaces, and mulching & weeding may be available at some locations
