Pitch In For Earth Day! Volunteers Needed
April 20, 2015
We'd like to wish you a very Happy Earth Day this Wednesday and invite you to celebrate stewardship by getting involved along the Susquehanna River and Greenway!
Not a paddler, boater, or river-rat? No Problem!
Many cleanup events could use folks stationed on land or water. Good with a camera? Consider volunteering as an event photographer. Make some killer cookies? Offer to bring a batch for hungry volunteers.
As you can tell, there is a role for each of us to play and I hope you'll find an event near you, get involved, and give back!
