Gwynns Falls Cleanup with Patagonia Baltimore

Join Blue Water Baltimore and our partners at Patagonia Baltimore for a park and waterway cleanup in Leakin Park along the Gwynns Falls trail!

Participants will do their part for a cleaner Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay by pulling trash and litter directly out of the the Gwynns Falls waterway.  Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, one contiguous parkland with two names, comprises the second largest woodland park in the United States! Consisting of over 1000 acres, this is by far Baltimore’s most extensive park, stretching from the western city line along the valley of the Gwynns Falls and its tributaries all the way to Wilkens Avenue.

We are striving to have a big impact on this park, so we will be offering two activities during this event. First, we will have a walk & talk that will discuss water testing and all the ways to maintain a healthy park and waterway. Second, it wouldn’t be a clean up without the trash! There will be gloves and trash-grabbers available for use, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer, and we will clean up as we learn about the park and stewardship.

Afterward, we will host a small gathering to celebrate and connect with each other! Chat with our nonprofits to learn more about what we can do to keep our waterways and green spaces clean. Water, snacks, and light refreshments included. Please note that parking is limited and we encourage volunteers to carpool!

Please complete the registration form for each attendee, including those under 18.
