October 22 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
We will be cleaning up the Ft. George Inlet on October 22 and we can use your help. Meet us at South end of Little Talbot Island State Park to help us pick up trash. We will be working from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Park just north of the Ft George River in the parking lot on the left side of the road. (If you are coming from downtown, drive east on Heckscher. From the intersection of I-295 and Heckscher, it is ~9 miles to the ferry landing and then another 2 miles to bridge over the Ft George River. After you go over the bridge, look for the turn off to the left that will take you to the parking lot on the north side of Heckscher Drive, just east of the Ft George River and bridge. If you get to the entrance to Little Talbot Island State Park, you have gone too far (we will be working about 3 miles south of the entrance))
Please wear closed-toe shoes, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and a hat. Bring work gloves if you have them, sunscreen, insect repellent and a full reusable water bottle. TPF will provide additional water, snacks, work equipment, and insect repellent.
