Meadow River Watershed Hosting Park Improvement Day
The Meadow River Watershed Association Inc. (MRWA) will host a park improvement day at Western Greenbrier Youth Park near Charmco on Saturday, June 12, from 10 AM – 2 PM.
In an effort to promote community involvement in the park, MRWA is asking local businesses, schools, churches and community groups to work a section of the park on park improvement day. Depending on the number of volunteers, MRWA plans to paint shelters, repair the restrooms and perform other necessary maintenance.
The MRWA will collect the names of interested organizations and will host a meeting to discuss which section each group would prefer and the MRWA plans to involve each group in the overall management of the park. MRWA wants to make sure each group that volunteers has a say in how the park is operated.
Since acquiring the park in 2009, MRWA has worked to make many improvements and was able to open the park to the public with help from members and supporters.
