Lets get Neighborly Clean before the rains of Spring arrive!
Another step to keep clean spring water flowing, clear debris from channel to prevent blockage and preserve the ecosystem.

Join us at the West Precinct Community Room, 5500 Charlotte Pike for some Starbucks coffee and pastries before clean-up of a Richland Creek tributary needing our attention (event flier).
