(Saturday) Creek Cleanup
Cumberland County Green Party (CCGP) will team up with
Conodoguinet Creek Watershed Association (CCWA) to
clean up part of the Conodoguinet Creek, and then
the two groups will picnic together. Note: While
the two events do work really well together, people can
choose to attend either the cleanup or the picnic
without participating in the other event.
CCWA typically cleans up a section of the Conodoguinet on the
third Saturday of each month during the warmer months.
For July, CCGP has volunteered to help CCWA with their
planned cleanup. The July cleaning is the mile of creek
between Condoguinet Parkway (Route 114) and Bent Creek
Rd. People interested in helping with the creek cleanup
will meet and park vehicles on Badden/Powell Lane. From
Conodoguinet Parkway (Route 114) turn east onto Bent
Creek Blvd. Proceed less than a quarter of a mile and
turn right on to Badden/Powell Lane. Please, everyone,
park on the left side. Then at 8:45ish we will carpool
to the entry site.
If you have any problems locating the group, call Paul Garrett on
his cell phone 514-3546. You can also call this number
if you have questions or wish to confirm that you will
be attending.
Dress appropriately according to the weather forecast (note the air
temperature, wind speed and the amount of cloud cover.
Sturdy creek shoes or old sneakers are necessary. A hat
is a good idea. We have gloves, if desired.
July 18
(Saturday) Picnic
The creek cleanup
will be done by noon, at which time the
two groups, CCGP and CCWA, will move to
the Willow Mill Park where we have
reserved the pavilion, for a combined
picnic. The picnic format will be large
potluck, so it is suggested that
everyone bring a dish to pass. There
is a disc golf course at the park – you
may have to bring your own discs – there
is playground equipment for the younger
kids, a nice park, and of course the
creek.
Willow Mill Park Rd is directly across Conodoguinet Pkwy (Route
114) from Bent Creek Blvd. If you
follow that a half mile or so, past a
stop sign and the history Hutson Mill on
the right, you’ll come to Willow Mill
Park, just past the Mill, also on the
right.
Plus, for those who
might want to make a very Green weekend
of it….
July 18-19,
GPPA Summer Gathering
Pennsylvania Green Party Summer Gathering is being held at Highland
Farm (7046 Blue Hill Rd, Glenville, PA,
