(April 20, 2017) Berlin’s annual Clean-Up Day, Saturday, is the kickoff for Take Pride in Berlin Week, which ends April 29.
Volunteers will dedicate a few hours to help give Berlin’s parks and neighborhoods a spring-cleaning. Individuals and teams are needed to help with planting, weeding, raking, mulching and whatever else needs attention. Students can also earn service hours.
The main cleanup areas are Stephen Decatur Park on Tripoli Street and Henry Park on Flower Street, with signup in either park starting at 8:30 am. Some supplies will be available for use, but participants are encouraged to bring their own if possible – rakes, shovels and wheelbarrows are always needed.
There will be a free children’s activity at 11 a.m. in both parks, and students from Salisbury University will be on hand with information about green initiatives.
Volunteers can spend their time anywhere they feel needs attention. Trash pickup will be available; items for pickup will need to be placed in one location at the cleanup area and the town must be contacted so that crews are aware of the need. To register a location or notify the town of a pickup location, email Mary Bohlen at mbohlen@berlinmd.gov or call 410-641-4314.
All volunteers will get a yellow “I have Berlin Pride” wristband, which can be shown at local merchants for special offers. For those who can’t attend Clean-Up Day, stop by Town Hall or the Berlin Visitor’s Center to obtain a wristband.
