Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us clean up Woodland Park on Sunday, November 12th, and especially for the Emerald Oaks Girl Scout Community for organizing the event. We had 175 people help us remove 2000 pounds of trash from Little White Oak Bayou. Our last 2023 clean-up is happening this Saturday, November 18th from 9am-12pm! Come join us!

For the 3rd year in a row, volunteers will have pulled over 10000 pounds of trash out of Little White Oak Bayou in Woodland Park, and we are now totaling over 625 tires pulled out of the bayou as well.

Thanks to Girl Scout Troops 122201, 122329, 122279, 122221, 122286, 122327, 122033, 122213, 122195, 25365, and I’m sure there are more! Plus, volunteers from Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart and Incarnate Word Academy Environmental Clubs, the Hogg Middle School National Jr Honor Society, Boy Scout Troop 30, and Cub Scout Pack 88! So many friends and neighbors too!

Most unusual Item winner was Gaby Godfrey from Girl Scout Ambassador troop #122247 for finding this moon snail shell.

Mother Nature is so very grateful for all of your help!

Please consider joining Friends of Woodland Park to keep these efforts going! We have annual memberships starting at $25 and lifetime memberships as well. Find out more at https://www.friendsofwoodlandpark.org/shop....
