November is the season of giving, and what better way to give back than to our environment? As the vibrant colors of fall surround us, it’s the perfect time to unite and provide our community with a little TLC.

Through our CYS 365 program, you can volunteer with us to create clearer, cleaner waterways year-round!

Every piece of litter you pick up helps protect our local wildlife, beautify our parks, and foster a cleaner environment for everyone. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to connect with neighbors and enjoy the crisp autumn air!

Fall Clean-Up Advantages:

  • Weather: Enjoy cooler temperatures that make it comfortable to work outside for longer periods.
  • Foliage: Falling leaves make litter more visible against the bare ground, making it easier to spot and collect.
  • Lower Bug Activity: Fewer insects in the fall can create a more pleasant experience compared to summer months.
  • Community Spirit: The season often inspires higher volunteer turnout and community involvement.

While each season has its challenges, fall clean-ups certainly offer some unique benefits!

You can choose to participate in staff-led clean-ups or organize one on your own. Select your own date, time, and location for the clean-up, or reach out to PCS staff for suggestions if you need assistance. Whether you join a group or tackle a spot solo, your efforts truly matter!

PCS will provide all necessary clean-up materials, including gloves, trash bags, data cards, and grabbers, ensuring you have everything you need to make a difference.

Gather your family, friends, or colleagues, and let’s work together to make our waterways cleaner and our community shine this fall!
