Please join us at our Big Sweep event at one of our oldest zones, Walnut Creek Wetland Park! Partners for Environmental Justice have been hosting Big Sweeps at this zone for more than 30 years; join the legacy! We are teaming up with North Carolina Wildlife Federation's Clean and Green Initiative this time around where for every 25 lbs. of trash removed, they donate native plants. Volunteers will sign-in at the main entrance to Walnut Creek Wetland Park at 950 Peterson Street in Raleigh. Extra parking is available on Peterson and State Streets. Please come appropriately dressed for the weather in clothing that can get wet, torn, or messy and with closed-toed shoes. Volunteers will be divided into teams that will tackle various zones including along sidewalks, down ravines, in creeks, and along the greenway. Please bring water bottles. All supplies will be provided.

Registration is required. Adults must register and accompany children.

Adults must register and accompany children under the age of 16. Everyone who volunteers must sign TWO release forms- Big Sweep and City of Raleigh. If anyone is under the age of 18, then a parent or guardian must sign their form as well.

If you are a group registering, a group leader must email rachel.vannoordt@raleighnc.gov to register. All groups will be required to provide a list of names and emails for their volunteers.
