Description

Be a part of Colorado’s largest watershed cleanup, Creek Week! The Trails and Open Space Coalition (TOSC) is teaming up with the Pikes Peak Road Runners (PPRR) to clean up the Pikes Peak Greenway near America the Beautiful Park. We will provide gloves and trash bags. Meet in the parking lot across the street from ATB Park, to the east. Participants will get warm fuzzy feelings for doing something good and a TOSC sticker. Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes, and bring water. Let's see how much rubbish we can collect in just 2 hours! Trash and debris are common in our waterways – clogging drainage systems, impacting wildlife, affecting water quality and ruining the view of our natural landscapes. Pitch in to improve the health of the watershed for us and for those downstream! Please contact [email protected] if you have questions. Thank you for being a part of our Trail Community!!Shout out to Fountain Creek Watershed Flood Control and Greenway District for hosting the 8th Annual Creek Week Cleanup!
