Adopt a Creek

Our Creek Cleanup Project is scheduled for Saturday, April 25 from 8:00 am – 11:00 am (or earlier depending on how quickly we wrap things up).

Now… let’s talk location.

We originally planned to work in the open space behind Twin Oaks Park, but have you seen the grasses lately? They are already shockingly tall and the goats aren’t scheduled to arrive until the end of May. By April 25 the area will likely be a jungle — which means:

• Trash will be hard to see
• Access to the tree area to paint the bases will be limited
• And ticks may decide to join the project (not ideal!)

So instead, we’re making a strategic pivot.

We’ll focus our efforts within the Twin Oaks Park boundary, where a little Rotary TLC will go a long way. With Little League in full swing (pun fully intended), the park perimeter and parking areas could use some attention. Much of the trash that ends up in the open space actually starts here and gets blown there, so we’ll be stopping it at the source.

Plan for the Morning

• Meet: Near the tennis courts at Theona Way
• Time: 8:00 am start
• Route: We’ll work counter-clockwise around the park perimeter, cleaning as we go.

The city will provide gloves or feel free to bring your own if you have them, wear comfortable shoes, and get ready for some good conversation, fresh air, and the satisfaction of making our community a little cleaner.

Projects like this are a great reminder that service can be simple, impactful, and even a little fun.
