Looking to participate in the Great Jersey City Cleanup but still haven't found a place that really calls to you? Want to get started just a touch later? The Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance is doing a cleanup on April 13 from 11am to 2pm! (Yes, we know the citywide event starts at 10- we are letting you sleep in or get a bigger breakfast!)

Reservoir #3 in the Heights is often nicknamed the "Hidden Gem of Jersey City," but sometimes it needs a good polish. Help get the site freshened up and ready for a busy spring and summer of hikes, kayaking, nature play, and community events!


When and where to arrive: Between 10:50am and 11:00am
Jefferson Avenue Gate, between Central and Summit Avenue, The Heights
Please sign this waiver before arrival: https://www.cognitoforms.com/CityOfJerseyCity1/GREATJERSEYCITYCLEANUPWAIVERANDRELEASE

What we will provide: Bags and containers for trash disposal, small trowels and other tools for unexpected odd-job needs 
What we ask you to bring: Your preferred set of work or garden gloves (we wish to reduce plastic waste by not using disposable gloves), water bottle, bug spray and sunscreen

The cleanup will be predominantly about picking up loose trash, but if you feel inclined to help dig up one of the bigger items that are "stuck" or trim some branches that are in the way, please bring your own tools for the job such as shovels, hoes, rakes, or trimmers. 


Accessibility
This event will involve a short walk along a rocky trail that is akin to a steep staircase, and may involve some rock scrambling or navigation through brush along a hill. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Sarah Burroughs, if you have any accessibility concerns at jcrpavolunteer@gmail.com
