Creek and Park Cleanup with Keep Durham Beautiful!
April 13th, 1-4 pm

  • What will I be doing?

At Keep Durham Beautiful, we believe in the shared responsibility to build and maintain clean, green, and beautiful spaces. That’s why we take action every day to improve and beautify neighborhoods throughout Durham. Volunteers will remove litter from a park and the creek that runs through it, with most of the litter being in/near the creek. This project will require being outside, with the potential for getting dirty and/or wet, and close contact with vegetation and/or insects. Volunteers may encounter hazardous materials such as broken glass, needles, stinging insects, or poison ivy. Volunteers who prefer not to get in/near the creek can clean up in the park or along the sidewalks surrounding the park area.

  • Where do I go?

Long Meadow Park, 917 Liberty St, Durham, NC 27701

  • Where can I park?

There is parking available in the small lot off of Liberty St, but we strongly recommend folks carpool where possible. The address for the park may lead people to Eva Street (it’s a problem we often have at this location), but the parking and meeting space is at the parking lot on Liberty Street, NOT Eva St.

  • What should I bring/wear?

Participants should bring a hat, a small pack for personal belongings, a reusable water bottle, and any snacks!

  • What will be provided by the host?

All tools will be provided, including gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, safety vests, sharps boxes, and a water cooler with paper cups.

  • Any special considerations?

This project requires sturdy footing and being amenable to being in the outdoors.

  • What if it rains?

This is a rain or shine event. If the weather conditions prohibit a specific project from taking place, we will work with you and the project host to coordinate an alternate date.

  • Any more questions?

Contact your team representative for any questions leading up to the event.
For day-of questions, please contact Dawn Keyser. Email: dawn@keepdurhambeautiful.org | Day-Of Phone: (910) 315-4346

  • How do I sign up?
