MILL HALL -- With 2023 community cleanup support funding from the Clinton County Community Foundation, Brenda and Don Lysle and William "Billy" Edwards, CleanScapes volunteer events will begin Saturday, April 15, with a forestland cleanup in Bald Eagle Township.
The 1-mile-long hillside, adjacent to Shade Hollow Road, is moderate to steeply pitched and the slopes are strewn with litter. Volunteers will bag litter alongside township work crew members, Derek Caris and Brock Gallagher. Cleanup will run from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Pre-registered volunteers will end the morning with pizza provided by OIP in Mill Hall.
On Sunday, April 16, CleanScapes will join Up the Crick owner Erika Morgan. Volunteer teams will clean up four miles of Pine Creek Valley's Rt. 44 N. roadsides. Erika is planning a "thank you" luncheon for all pre-registered volunteers. This event will start at 9:30 a.m. and lunch served by 12 noon.
April cleanups will end on a mountain top in Lamar Township. DCNR Bald Eagle State Forest crew members will help CleanScapes volunteers pick up trash from the Riansares Mountain Vista on Sunday, April 30. With the litter removed, visitors can once again enjoy one of Clinton County's greatest viewing destinations. Supplies and luncheon for all pre-registered volunteers.
In late spring, CleanScapes will hold their second annual residential electronics collection event. In September, volunteers will be invited to a West Branch Susquehanna River cleanup in Wayne Township.
