Join us at Keep Colorado Beautiful to help protect and preserve an important natural resource of Northern Colorado -- Lee Martinez Community Park! We will be clearing sticks, debris, and litter on the east side of the park along a creek and trail plus removing litter along the banks of the creek, where it often collects within vegetation. We will move west and along the Poudre River to remove as much litter as we can find. By picking up litter we will beautify our city while protecting our local ecosystems, including our soil, waterways, plants, and wildlife, from pollution. Litter prevention is one of the easiest things we can do to keep our city clean, but it takes all of us doing our part!

We will have two shits 9am - 12pm and 1pm to 4pm. Our tent will be setup on the Hickory Trail on the west side of the Museum of Discovery.

Safety: We highly recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing, pants, and boots, as we may work near a moderate slopes with dense vegetation. We always recommend bringing a reusable bottle for water but we will have disposable cups available if needed. KCOB will provide all supplies, such as litter grabbers, rakes, gloves, and trash bags.

Parking + Facilities: Parking is located at 600 North Sherwood Street Parking at the end of Elm Street, and also along Mason Ct off Cherry street, and the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. Restrooms will be available for use at the park.

*While we love group attendance at volunteer projects, all participants in a group must be registered individually.*
