Sat-19Apr2025 Mill Creek Spring Clean Up join us

Mill Creek Extreme Clean Up – Saturday, April 19

Please join the Mill Creek Towne Garden Club, Rock Creek Conservancy, and Montgomery Parks for our 2025 EXTREME CLEANUP of Mill Creek Stream on Saturday, April 19, 2025 for a litter removal restoration event in Rock Creek Park. Trash is the visible form of stormwater pollution, a major threat to water quality and park health and its removal makes the parklands cleaner, safer, and more beautiful for all. Event location, directions, and information will be sent prior to the event. This annual event is a watershed-wide cleanup movement with the goal of total trash removal throughout Rock Creek, its tributaries, and surrounding neighborhoods and parklands. Information is included in this link:
 
 
We will update you the week of April 13, 2025 with instruction and locations of where you can pick up supplies and leave your trash. It’s a campaign clean up event, so go with your children, family or friends, pick out a point in the creek area where you can pick up trash, and spend as much time as you want. Every little bit helps.
 
We hope you’ll join us!
Registration required. See below for registration link for this event.
