Twice a year, the Friends of Dora Kelley Nature Park invite neighbors and park visitors to help pick up garbage that’s accumulated along the water, by the rocks, among the trees, on the trail and anywhere in the park.
For the past few years we’ve lived in the neighborhood, we’ve participated a few times. I look forward to these events because I always see people I’ve never seen before. Last year, I saw a group of students from a nearby middle school pitching in. The more people come out, the more awareness we’ll have of the damage litter can do to such a beautiful park.
