Riverfront Amphitheater Cleanup
August 1, 2021 @ 8:45 am - 11:00 am
Cape Fear River Watch and Island Wildlife – Cape Fear Region are excited to partner together for this cleanup at the Riverfront Park and surrounding downtown area on Sunday! Thanks to this partnership, the cleanup will also be a Trees4Trash event. That means that as a volunteer, your impact is doubled: for every 25 pounds of trash that you pick up, Trees4Trash will plant a tree to promote healthy wildlife habitat, mitigate climate change, and buffer storm water runoff and sediment load in waterways.
The cleanup will also be supported by Keep New Hanover Beautiful and Plastic Ocean Project! Thank you!
For the cleanup, here’s what you need to know:
Meeting time: 8:45am. Please sign in with CFRW and with Island Wildlife!
Start time: 9am
Duration: We’re anticipating a maximum of two hours
Address: 10 Cowan St.
Parking: Street parking
Look for: CFRW & Island Wildlife tent & sign-in table, cleanup signs & feather flag. We’ll be staging the cleanup from the amphitheater itself.
What we’re cleaning up: Amphitheater, surrounding city blocks, storm drains, river walk, overflowing trash cans, and potentially in the marsh grasses under the boardwalk (if safe and feasible). We will have some maps available of different areas of downtown to hit.
We provide: Pickers, gloves, safety vests, bags, and water (please bring a reusable bottle). We hope to have enough supplies for everyone present, but if you have any cleanup supplies of your own, please bring them!
Please bring: Sunscreen, hat, & water bottle
