SITE GRADE B/C - Some Slopes. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Full mobility suggested. Some areas may have heavy trash, steep slopes, and heavy brush. Sawyers will be working in some areas, so volunteers need to use caution around the chainsaw-use areas.
WHAT: Volunteers will clean up in the areas affected by last year's tornado. We'll remove trash, move debris out of the way of our trained sawyers, maintain & improve the trails in the park, and remove honeysuckle & other invasives. Join us for a great day of keeping O'Fallon Park beautiful!
WHEN: 9am-3pm, Saturday, April 18th. Volunteer check-in will begin at 8:45am.
While the cleanup technically begins at 9am, please feel free to join us at any point during the day!
WHERE: Volunteers will meet in the back of the YMCA parking lot, near the trail stairs, exact location here. The YMCA Rec Center address is 4343 W Florissant Ave, St. Louis, MO 63115.
