SUMMARY:MCT Garden Club & Rock Creek Conservancy Extreme Cleanup Training – Mill Creek Stream
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Extreme Cleanup – Mill Creek Stream Training for Mill Creek Drive / Warbler Lane\, Mill Creek Towne\, Derwood\, Maryland \nTuesday\, February 25\, 2020 @ 7:30pm \nMill Creek Parish United Methodist\nFellowship Hall\n7101 Horizon Terrace\nDerwood\, MD 20855 \nMill Creek Towne Garden Club has invited Samantha Battersby\, of the Alice Ferguson Foundation to provide creek cleanup training at our next meeting on February 25\, 2020 7:30 PM. Our meeting is open to the public. Samantha is the Program Coordinator\, Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative for the Alice Ferguson Foundation. During the training\, we will do a group activity to determine the length of time trash could remain in the environment if left unattended. Even if you can’t make our clean up event\, come and learn the process on how to organize a successful community cleanup\, whether it’s along a stream\, roadside\, or park. Refreshments will be provided. \n \nJoin Rock Creek Conservancy\, the Alice Ferguson Foundation\, National Park Service\, Mill Creek Towne Garden Club and Stream Team Leader Susan Yu for our Rock Creek Extreme Cleanup! We will be cleaning up trash from the Mill Creek Stream near the corner of Mill Creek Drive and Warbler Lane on Saturday\, April 18\, 2020 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. \nTrash and pollution are among the biggest threats to this small stream\, one of the northern most tributaries of Rock Creek. Our goal is a total cleanup of Rock Creek and its tributaries\, including the parks and neighborhoods near the creek where trash originates. \nWe invite you to join us for Rock Creek Conservancy’s 12th Annual Extreme Cleanup to help remove trash and keep this section of Rock Creek clean and healthy. All necessary supplies will be provided; volunteers should dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy closed toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty. We hope to see you there! \nPlease register to participate here: \nRegister Today! \n  \nMaryland National Park and Planning Commission\nThe Maryland National Park and Planning Commission\, Montgomery Parks\, Montgomery County\, Maryland manages the county park system to meet needs of current and future generations. https://www.montgomeryparks.org/ \nRock Creek Conservancy\nRock Creek Conservancy exists to restore Rock Creek and its parklands as a natural oasis for all people to appreciate and protect. Rock Creek Conservancy is the only organization dedicated solely to Rock Creek and its parks. The creek meanders 33 miles through the Washington metropolitan area\, crossing federal lands as well as district\, city\, county\, and state boundaries.  Although parkland borders much of the creek\, the surrounding development threatens the health and beauty of these natural areas.  Rock Creek Conservancy is uniquely positioned to foster outreach\, education\, and efforts to overcome threats to Rock Creek. https://www.rockcreekconservancy.org/ \nAlice Ferguson Foundation\nThe Alice Ferguson Foundation’s mission is to connect people to the natural world\, sustainable agricultural practices\, and the cultural heritage of their local watershed through education\, stewardship\, and advocacy. The Alice Ferguson Foundation’s educational programs unite students\, educators\, park rangers\, communities\, regional organizations\, and government agencies throughout the Washington\, D.C. metropolitan area to promote the environmental sustainability of the Potomac River watershed. https://fergusonfoundation.org/ \nEarth Day Celebrates 50th Anniversary in 2020!\nAlthough we are not officially in partnership with Earth Day 2020\, we honor the worldwide 50th Anniversary of Earth Day on Saturday\, April 18\, 2020 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm\, by doing our part to protect and restore our planet\, with our cleanup of Mill Creek Stream.\nhttps://www.earthday.org/earth-day-2020/ \n  \nNOTE: If Montgomery County Schools are closed due to inclement weather\, the Garden Club meeting will be cancelled. \nRSVP: info@mctgardenclub.org \n
