Northwest Branch and Hiker-Biker Trail Cleanup organized by Pick Up America

(co-sponsored by the Mount Rainier Bike Co-op).

Pick Up America and its groups will focus primarily on the branch/stream itself near West Hyattsville Metro (about mile 1.5 on the NW Branch Bike Trail). The Mount Rainier Bike Co-op will focus on the other end by cleaning up the hiker-biker trail itself (mile 0 on the NW Branch Trail). Please dress appropriately (plastic bags and gloves will be provided upon request)

WHO: Those interested will be joining with other groups including:

- Pickup America & U Maryland students

- Anacostia Watershed Society

- Friends of the Northwest Branch

WHEN: Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 11:30am (about 2 hours)

WHERE: Those interested in cleaning up the trail can meet up at our designated meet-up and clean-up site (which sits on the Northwest Branch Hiker-Biker Trail on Route 1 near Charles Armontrout Dr.) We will gather in the parking lot across from Rhode Island Reds Cafe. For those interested in cleaning up the tributary branch please contact Davey (pickupamerica@gmail.com).

QUESTIONS: Please contact Joe Robbins via e-mail (or cell phone ONLY on that day: 240-601-9157)

Thanks in advance for your help in keeping our wonderful watershed and bike trail clean!
