Kerncliff Park Clean Up

Volunteers are invited to come out and help Field and Stream Rescue Team and Friends of Kerncliff Park with our last clean up of the season.

There has been a lot of dumping over the edge of the escarpment within this park and we want to remove the garbage and clean up some of the great habitat along the escarpment. Much of the waste is made up of broken glass and volunteers are asked to bring a pair of sturdy shoes/rubber boots, heavy work gloves, a bucket or bag made of heavy material and sun protection.

Field and Stream Rescue Team will provide some buckets, gloves, sunscreen and bugspray for the clean up

We hope to see everyone at this event as it will be our last event until the end of the summer.

The cleanup will occur at Landsdown Park between Palmer Road and Mainway, in the City of Burlington. The meeting location will be at the parking lot of Lansdown Park on Palmer Road, City of Burlington.
