More from the Open Space Council’s release below.
Recent flooding has caused a lot of damage to local towns and parklands along the Meramec. Please join us and lend a helping hand to some of the communities hit hardest.
At this event, we will work alongside St. Louis County Park and Kirkwood Park Employees to restore Simpson Lake County Park and Greentree Park, removing flood debris, litter, and helping clean the parks and trails up. Please come prepared to get dirty.
Meet between 8:30 and 9 a.m. at the large picnic shelter in Greentree Park to sign in and pick up gloves & bags. Everyone will be divided into 2 groups and half will go to Simpson and half will stay at Greentree.
Age 15+ invited to join. Under 18 years of age? Please be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
