Delaware & Lehigh Trail Cleanup - Service Project

We are excited to finally get outside and get to work! Invite your family, friends and community to join this service project - the more, the merrier! There is no limit to the number of volunteers for this day. Take the opportunity to meet our Camp Neidig students, who will also be helping out. 

Meet at the Sand Island parking lot past the basketball courts. We will move east and west on the trailhead.

Please bring your own face masks, work gloves and hand sanitizer. Some tools and supplies will be provided. If you have any further tools that could be useful, please bring along. Electric and gas-powered tools are not allowed (no weed wackers or power mowers).

• Water cleanup (bring your own kayak/canoe/paddles/life vest) - trash bags and 3 nets for removing litter from the water will be provided
