EVENT CANCELED

Due to this morning's snow, our MLK Day of Service is canceled.

We had planned to clean up trash along a section of N. Franklintown Road that was to be closed by the Baltimore Department of Transportation.

However, DOT now needs to direct equipment and personnel to roadway maintenance, and the road will not be closed.    

We are looking into rescheduling the cleanup, and we'll keep you posted.   


Our Annual MLK day of service returns!  

There will be two ways to participate:

1.  We will be picking up trash along Franklintown Road and the Gwynns Falls trail.  Grabbers/bags are provided. Parking will be on Franklintown Rd.

2.  Naturalists from the Carrie Murray Nature Center will be on hand to lead cutting of invasive vines.  Tools will be provided. Parking will be at Winans Meadow 4500 N. Franklintown Rd.

Please see the map below for details. (Or download this PDF)

Dress Warmly!

  • Bring a filled water bottle, as there is no water source. We do not provide disposable water bottles
  • Bring your own well-fitting gloves!  we have cotton work gloves to give out, but it is far better if folks bring their own (they are cheap and one size fits all, also they are not reused so they become trash.)
  • There is a port-o-potty at the Winans Meadow parking area 



Registration is not required, but it is recommended. We'll send you reminders, let you know about any inclement weather changes, and add you to our email list so you know about future events.


Where is the park? 

On the western edge of Baltimore, right where Interstate 70 terminates.
