From District 1 City Councilmember Lisa Herbold

The Fairmount Ravine Preservation Group will sponsor the 27th Annual Spring Cleanup and Reforestation of Fairmount Ravine, Saturday April 6th at 8:30 am.  Meet at the top of ravine (Forest St. and Fairmount Ave).  As in past years, this year's cleanup will focus on removing garbage and debris from homeless encampments under the bridge, removing ivy from trees in the ravine and cleaning sidewalks on the Admiral Bridge.

What to wear: boots and gloves.

Things to bring (if you can): a pruning saw and/or large loppers (to help remove ivy from trees), a flat shovel and push broom to help clean the sidewalks on the bridge.

Refreshments will be provided. All the organizers ask is that you donate a couple of hours of your time to keep this greenbelt clean, healthy and natural. I hope to see you there!
