Green Fun for the Whole Family

Check-In, Cleanup...

[Blog Post by Zoe Killian, zkillian@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov]

Pre-registration is open for Earth Day GreenUp – March 24th, 2018!

Join The Woodlands Township in a community-wide litter cleanup event, the annual Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup.

Together, we can target litter on pathways, along waterways, and in greenbelts to keep our community looking clean and green! This community-wide cleanup is an excellent opportunity for team building, meeting neighbors and enjoying the outdoors.

Before the Event

  1. Pre-register online for your check-in location of choice. **Everyone in your group MUST sign a waiver (included in online pre-registration or onsite at check-in).
  2. Be prepared for cleanup by wearing appropriate clothing – long pants and closed-toe shoes/boots. Remember hats, sunscreen, mosquito repellent and a reusable water bottle – we will have a refilling station at the celebration!

Clean Up Day

  1. Check-in at a designated park near you.
  2. Receive gloves, bags and instructions.
  3. Cleanup litter on your assigned pathway.
  4. Drop off bags of litter along pickup route.
  5. Join us at Northshore Park to drop off your supplies and get your free pizza, a t-shirt and enjoy entertainment!

The post-pickup party at Northshore Park will be from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Join us for food, live music by the Buck Yeager band, entertainment by Mr. Cirque the Acrobat and games. Volunteers who participated in the cleanup will be honored guests, receiving free pizza and drinks along with the 2018 event T-shirt. The general public may purchase pizza and drinks.
