An Invitation from the Monroe County Department of Parks
Pick Up the Parks
A new initiative from the Monroe County Department of Parks
April 10th, 2010
Join us and several local recreation and environmental groups in kicking off
this new local stewardship event. In this first year, we will be targeting 4
parks: Ellison, Genesee Valley, Greece Canal, and Ontario Beach Parks for clean
up and other park improvements. Why just four? As you know there are 21 parks
within the Monroe County Parks system. As this is a first year event, we wanted
to identify popular parks that could also accommodate our widespread community.
We welcome your ideas for future projects and will certainly add more parks to
the event as community support grows.
Email or call today to register your family, group of friends, club,
organization, scout troop, or class! Contact Ryan Loysen at rloysen@monroecounty.gov or
585-753-7281.
Be sure to tell us your group size, preferred park, e-mail address, and
phone number, or just come on out to one of the project sites on April 10th and
register on-site. Orientation begins at 10 a.m. at each project site with
refreshments and additional information. Group projects and field work will
begin at 10:30 a.m.
The Monroe County Parks belong to all of us, so let's join together to keep
them clean and green. Check back for additional event details, meet-up
locations and park information at http://www.monroecounty.gov/parks.
