olunteers from around the world will be cleaning up their communities and “creating acts of green” in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in The Great Global Cleanup. Here, in our little corner of the world, QVNA is organizing our community’s second annual homage to Earth Day on Saturday, April 25th from 9:00 a.m. to noon. LOVE QUEEN VILLAGE DAY is a neighborhood-wide cleanup of pocket parks and playgrounds—with just enough planting of bulbs, new trees and pit mulching to satisfy those with green
thumbs. In 2019, more than 65 neighbors volunteered to clean up and plant in six pocket parks and add 11 trees to our canopy. On April 25th, QVNA hopes that even more neighbors will volunteer on LOVE QUEEN VILLAGE DAY. It’s a great opportunity to care for community’s common areas, meet neighbors, and yes, have fun. And starting at noon, several Queen Village pubs and eateries will extend an exclusive offer of hospitality to LOVE QUEEN VILLAGE DAY volunteers. To volunteer, please sign up at www.QVNA.org/LoveQV. ■
FUN FACT: Both QVNA and Earth Day are celebrating their 50th years of organizing and inspiring community action to help protect and improve quality of life.
