Sarnia parks cleanup planned during May

With the warmer weather upon us, the Sarnia Environmental Advisory Committee is undertaking a series of community beautification projects.

The organization will be out at various locations every Thursday in May.

Volunteers will be cleaning a prairie garden at the Art Teasell Wildlife Refuge Thursday, and working on a garden at Christina Street and Davis Street on May 30.

Parks and Rec Director Rob Harwood said it's great to see the community helping out.

"We appreciate all of the interest that local citizens have in helping us to beautify our places and spaces," said Harwood. "Last weekend we had our parks cleanup day and it was absolutely fantastic. Over 700 people joined in to help out."

They'll be removing garlic mustard and spreading woodchips at Canatara Park's Tarzanland entrance on May 9, 16, and 23

Each session is being held from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.

Those interested in helping out are asked to bring gloves and a shovel.
