Every month is Earth Month for us at Cape Fear River Watch!
We are partnering with Keep New Hanover Beautiful for our monthly community litter cleanup from 9-11 a.m. on April 11th! The cleanup will take place in an area that flows into Greenfield Lake. We will be focusing our efforts on the area’s around the Good Shepherd Center. We will meet at the intersection of 8th and Martin—an address that will get you close is 811 Martin St. (please do not park in the Good Shepherd parking lot). Just follow our cleanup in progress signs! We will bring pickers, bags, gloves, and safety vests—you bring your passion for clean water. As always, remember to dress appropriately for the weather and bring yourself sunscreen, bug spray, and plenty of water.
