9:00am-5:00pm: Trash Clean-ups for Little Falls
Every month the Little Falls Watershed Alliance hosts a trash pick-up for the Little Falls Parkway and creek. They provide bins of plastic bags and gloves available at the corners of Dorset and Little Falls parkway and Mass Ave and Little Falls parkway. You are invited to take a bag, put on the gloves and find a spot that needs cleaning. The Parkway is closed from Mass Ave to Arlington Blvd, so you can walk and clean! Other spots to consider are along the Capital Crescent, the Little Falls Creek upstream and downstream from Mass Ave, Westland Middle School fields or the Willett creek behind Bethesda Pool.
