Celebrate Earth Day with cleanup at Prospect Hill Park

With the arrival of spring and Earth Day just around the corner, community members are invited to roll up their sleeves and make a difference at Prospect Hill Park in Waltham.

The Friends of Prospect Hill have organized a volunteer cleanup event for Sunday, April 19, from 1-3 p.m., giving residents the opportunity to help pick up litter and clear vegetation in one of Waltham’s most scenic outdoor spaces.

The event is open to everyone. Families, students, and local residents are all encouraged to attend and contribute to the community effort.

Earth Day first began in 1970 and is now an annual event dedicated to environmental protection, raising awareness about issues such as pollution, climate change and conservation.

The group will meet at the Prospect Hill Park access gate between 200 and  300 5th Avenue (not the Totten Pond Road entrance). Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves and pants and apply insect repellent.

Please RSVP here to determine how many volunteers to expect. Head outdoors, be active and soak in the beauty of Waltham’s prized park!
