Earth Day Cleanup
Saturday, April 19 2025
Our biggest volunteer day of the year! Join us rain, snow, or shine for a cleanup around HPEC's trails and bodies of water. Partner up with HPEC staff and other volunteers to gather as much debris as possible in this 2-3 hour eco-blitz. See areas of trail you've never before seen, connect with your neighbors, and give back to Mother Earth.
Meet at the Visitor's Center at 9AM for group assignments and routes. Work will begin shortly thereafter.
Tea and hot chocolate provided afterwards in the Visitor's Center.
