Cooks Creek Watershed Association Will be Back Out on the Streets for Annual Green-Up Day

Bucks County organization continues to provide stewardship by hosting yearly roadside clean up to help maintain Cooks Creek Watershed’s exceptional value status

SPRINGTOWN, Pa – The annual Cooks Creek Watershed Green-Up Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 2014. The all-volunteer group covers clean-up of more than eighty miles of roads and creek during their clean up that includes Springfield, parts of Durham, Lower Saucon and Richland townships.

Ongoing for more than a decade, the annual work day brings together volunteers from several townships, including environmental advisory council (EAC), historic and planning commission members and others from Lower Saucon, Durham and Springfield. In addition, local scout groups assist in picking up road refuse each spring.

Cooks Creek Watershed spans more than 30 square miles throughout mostly Springfield Township, and parts of Durham Township, Bucks County, but pours over into Lower Saucon in Northampton County.

The event begins at 9 a.m. on April 5 at Springtown Volunteer Fire Company, Route 212, Springtown, Pa. Coffee, donuts and a lunch of homemade chili and desserts will be provided. The opportunity is open to anyone who would like to volunteer. Children may participate if accompanied and supervised by an adult. All safety and clean-up equipment is provided.

If your group would like to participate in the day, please contact Scott Douglas, CCWA president for registration at 610-346-1604. For up-to-dates regarding weather or other details check out the Cooks Creek Watershed Association’s Facebook page.
