Come out for a land-based litter clean-up at Four Mile Run, on the day of service in recognition and remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Our effort will focus on litter in the restoration meadow area and the Sunnyside tributary stream, both of which are in much need of attention. Sturdy shoes with good traction are recommended.

Note: as a COVID-19 precaution,  advance registration is requested, and face masks are required during arrival. Even though we will be outdoors, social distancing is recommended.

WHEN/WHERE TO MEET:

Meet at 10:00 am Monday, January 17, at the trail Kiosk near the playground and MOM's Organic Market (MOM's is at 3831 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22305). If parking in the MOM's parking lot, please park at the far side of the parking lot near the futsal court.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The streamside area is steep-sloped and muddy; we are able to provide hip boots in a range of sizes for volunteers to use in this area. The restoration meadow area is vegetated and may be muddy.

Please note:

• Snacks, trash grabbers, bags, & gloves will be provided
• Please bring your own water in a reusable bottle
