10 A.M. MEETING SPOT: Rolling View State Recreational Area

All interested should meet in the parking lot of the Rolling View State Recreational Area at 4201 Baptist Rd, Durham, NC 27703. After discussing the clean-up project for the day and review safety, participants will split up into cleanup groups and “scatter out” to do trailhead/shoreline cleanup work. Driving directions and maps of the specific (very close) MST Trailhead cleanup locations will be provided during the introduction and overview. 

Project for the day:

1. The major daily task is to pick up trash and recyclables in small groups along the shoreline of Lick Creek.
2. In addition, clean up litter at MST designated parking lots/trailheads along the Falls Lake Trail west section of Segment 10 at sections 12,13 & 14. 
3. Education about the MST and healthy watersheds.
