Poquessing Creek watershed (service area)
We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.
Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call or email the group to ask about the next cleanup. Its events page listed none when we checked..
What to expect
The site does not describe a typical cleanup. Work covers both the creek and the land around it, and the group shares photos of past cleanups. The page does not say how long a cleanup lasts, who comes, or what to bring.
Tips for your first visit
- Call or email before you come, since the group posts each month's dates as it sets them.
- Ask what to wear and bring, because the site does not say.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Membership is by a mailed paper application with a check, and the cleanup pages do not say whether a newcomer can join a cleanup..
