| MRA Announcement Magothy River Day Weekend Stream Clean Up Volunteers Needed Tires, Tires and more Tires!!! to be recycled by AA County and plenty of other trash too. Saturday, June 19th 9:30AM - 12:30PM Rain or Shine Severna Park - Simmons Lane Stream feeds Cattail Creek @ the end of Simmons off B&A Blvd (across from Berrywood entrance) Other Information Please remember that the clean up site is in a neighborhood. Be courteous and considerate of community residents. Do not block driveways or mailboxes. Do not make unnecessary noise on a Saturday morning. The Clean Up site is a bit downhill and about 150' from the street. Tires will have to be removed from the area next to the stream and moved up the hill to a dumpster. A number of the tires have rims. They will be a bit heavy, but most should roll. There is other trash to be removed as well. If it has been raining, the ground may be wet and slippery. There is some poison ivy growth along the access, but this will be removed a few days ahead of time, by cutting (no chemical use), but root growth will remain. We must emphasize the use of long pants and work gloves. (Directions below) |

| While it's helpful to know volunteer counts ahead of time, there is no need to register, just show up rain or shine. Remember to wear suitable work clothes for hauling tires, sturdy shoes (no flip flops or sandals) and bring work gloves. If you are pretty certain you will be there, an email to the address below with number of volunteers attending would be appreciated. Volunteers will be asked to sign in at the event and provide some kind of contact information.
