The Monday Minute: February 24
Greenway Cleanup Today
Thank you to those who registered and are coming out today to join Gwinnett Water Resources, city staff and community volunteers to enhance and protect a section of the Lilburn Greenway. The team will focus on removing invasive plant species (i.e. privet) next to the trail and Camp Creek, creating an opportunity for native plants to re-establish and provide valuable resources for nature. Volunteers, remember to dress appropriately for yard work and bring a snack and water in a reusable bottle! Tools and gloves will be provided. Thank you for helping to keep our trails beautiful!
