KEEP NASSAU BAY BEAUTIFUL TO CONDUCT FALL SWEEP - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6 Keep Nassau Bay Beautiful will conduct a Fall Sweep on Saturday, November 6 from 8:30AM to 11:30AM, and all community members are encouraged to participate in the event. The Fall Sweep will include projects in David Braun Park, Howard Ward Park and Swan Lagoon Park.
“We are very excited to bring together the Keep Nassau Bay Beautiful Committee, our City’s Parks Committee, the Nassau Bay Garden Club, and community volunteers for our ‘Fall Sweep’ event,” said Roscoe Lee, Chair of the Nassau Bay Parks Committee. “During the event, volunteers will tackle shoreline cleanup along Clear Creek, trim tree branches and shrubs, weed and mulch various areas, and complete other similar tasks.” Check-in will be at the Pavilion in David Braun Park, where
participants can pick up supplies (gloves, trash bags, sunscreen, masks, etc.). The Nassau Bay website (www.nassaubay.com) has the list of sites to be worked, the details of the tasks at each site, and tools required. Please note: Depending on the task chosen, participants may be required to bring additional tools from home. These items are listed on the website, as well. “We have an online sign-up on the website to minimize crowding at the check-in desk,” Lee said. “When you sign in, it would be helpful if you select a task that you want to work. We want to distribute volunteers among the work areas. Masks are optional, but we request that you work in small groups.” For more info, please visit the City’s website and search Fall Sweep, or sign up at: www.nassaubay.com/fallsweepsignup.
