Roadside and River Trash Cleanups; Recycle Tire Amnesty Days<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Periodically throughout the year, our chapter member volunteers will participate in scheduled trash cleanup and recycling events.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"The chapter participates in a variety of trash cleanup events and these are available for perusal on our online chapter website calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For example, through the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation\u2019s Adopt-A-Stream program, our chapter has adopted a portion of Kings Fork Road in Suffolk stretching from the chapter park’s front gate entrance all the way to the intersection of Kings Fork Road with Route 10.<\/p>\n
