We typically rotate between Freedom Park (big groups!), Veterans Park (best for 20-30), Camp Greene Park (big groups, potential for partnering with CharMeck Storm Water and/or Keep Charlotte Beautiful), and Thompson Park (smaller group, usually right before Memorial Day and/or Veterans Day). Projects vary according to the needs in the parks.
What to bring/wear:
- Wear long pants and long sleeves, for protection from scratches and/or poison ivy.
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes – REQUIRED, NO sandals or flip-flops. Wear OLDER shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, wet or muddy.
- Wear heavy-duty work gloves – bring your own gloves for health and safety.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen (as appropriate) for protection from sun exposure; and bring your own preferred mosquito/insect repellant.
- Bring and wear a face covering when in the vicinity of other people.
- Bring your own water in a large, refillable water bottle; to stay hydrated, avoid the need to refill, and to protect the environment from single-use plastic bottles.
