Help clean up Jefferson Park for Earth Day!
04/18/2017 7:38 AM by John M
Come out this Saturday and help clean up Jefferson Park for Earth Day!
From HandsOn Greater Richmond:
Jefferson Park is located at the corner of North 21st Street and East Marshall Street in the City of Richmond, Virginia. It has arguably the best view of Richmond’s City Skyline. The Friends of Jefferson Park (FOJP) is made up of citizen volunteers whose goal is to enhance the park, through citizen involvement. The Friends group holds regular clean-ups, plants trees and encourages responsible use of the park. Bringing work gloves is recommended.
This project is a part of Enrichmond Foundation’s 24th Earth Day Richmond Celebration, Central Virginia’s premiere and longest running Earth Day event.
We will be meeting by the park fountain. Lots of work to do…pick up trash, spread mulch, weed and cut back vegetation. Should be a beautiful day to give back to our neighborhood!
9am to 11am.
Jefferson Park is looking good! We picked up trash. We pulled weeds. We mulched. We showed some love for the Earth and our beloved Jefferson Park!
The Friends of Jefferson Park would like to thank the following individuals and groups for their assistance with the April 22 Earth Day Clean-up in Jefferson Park:

I also meant to thank the Richmond Dept of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities that work in the park on a regular basis and hauled off all the trash after the clean-up!
