JUN 21 & 22: Codorus Creek Clean-Up: 9am - 5pm. We'll meet in York, at Small Field, behind the National Guard Armory on North George Street. (If you're coming from the north, it's on your left – right before you hit the Codorus.) You can register any time after 9 am and work as long as you want. Parents must be there with their kids, at least to sign in and sign the liability waiver. Kids 8 to 13 should be accompanied by parents.

Please wear long pants, as there are some stinging nettles and poison around. Bring waders if you have them; we'll have a few pairs. We'll supply all the other gear, plus lunch is being provided by Central Family Restaurant and the North York Boro. Please email info@codoruscreek.com or call 717.718.5431 if you can help with a pick-up truck, or if you just want to let us know you're coming. This will help with the lunch count too. :)

You can download the Clean Up flyer here. Please print some out and post them wherever you can. Remember to tell all your friends! The cleanup will be some work, but its lots of fun too, and satisfying to see how nice the creek can be when we take care of it.
