Neighborhood Greenspace Cleanup Event for World Environment Day
The City of Columbia, Gills Creek Watershed Association, and Columbia Green invite you to participate in an exciting new project to reclaim a lot in the Historic Trenholm-Buchanan Neighborhood (condemned after the 2015 flood) and transform it into a neighborhood greenspace.
The first step? REMOVE THE INVASIVE PLANTS infesting the property!
Please join us as we launch this new initiative with a Neighborhood Greenspace Cleanup 🌳on World Environment Day. Together, we’ll clear out invasive plants and litter to make way for a gorgeous new neighborhood greenspace. Come and pitch in and sneak a peak at the plans for this grassroots community project.
Register to let us know you’re coming. Families, neighbors, and groups are welcome. We’ll provide basic supplies; you bring comfortable shoes, water, and a willingness to pitch in 🌎.
