TOSC Member - One Bag Challenge Micro Cleanup – Cheyenne Meadows Park

TOSC Member - One Bag Challenge Micro Cleanup –  Cheyenne Meadows Park
Tues, May 21st, 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM

TOSC Members make a difference!  Let's go for an adventure in Cheyenne Meadows Park for a One Bag Challenge micro cleanup.  We will walk around the park, and possibly the dog park, picking up litter for approximately 15 minutes.  We will meet at a centeralized meeting spot to layout the trash we have found for photography and cataloging.  If time allows, we will make a few "Litter Critters" that will be used for social media promotions of TOSC's One Bag Challenge.

What to Expect:
All Abilities are Welcome
Distance: Less than .5 miles
Trail: Concrete sidewalks.  Grass lawn. Dirt Field.
The Cleanup: We will focus on the area around the walk loop in the park with attention given to the playground area.  If time and group size allows, we will pick up in the area of the Cheyenne Meadows Dog Park.  These cleanups are quick, 15 minutes or less, and we encourage the use of a TOSC "One Bag Challenge" resuable bag or any bag you have laying around your house (no plastic bags prefered). 

What makes One Bag Challenge micro cleanups unique is that we get together afterward and lay our trash out on a large piece of fabric.  We take photos and share stories of what we found.  Our findings will be shared with the public and will be used to help change people's behaviors over the long term.  If time allows, we will make "litter critters."  We basically put googly eyes on a few pieces of trash.  "Just like other pests, we don't want to leave litter critters in our favorite places." Social media will go wild over these and we appreciate your help making it happen!

What to Bring:
Sturdy shoes for trail walking, water, sunscreen.  A bag of any size to pick up trash.  We will have One Bag Challenge Bags for anyone who doesn't already have one. 

Meeting Spot: We will meet at the playground in Cheyenne Meadows Park.  The address is: 3868 Glenmeadow Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80906.  

Members can bring as many guests as you wish.
Please no pets.
