- Lower Hilton Creek Cleanup
- Saturday, March 3rd 9am
- Botanical Garden and Lake Fayetteville Watershed Partnership is sponsoring a cleanup of Hilton Creek.
Hilton Creek runs east to west into Lake Fayetteville, along the south side of the Garden.
Cleanup will help prevent creek back-up and potential flooding of the BGO (like we experienced last spring).
Volunteers should dress warmly for cold, wet work in and around the creek - think boots, waders, gloves, layers. Please park in the field south of the creek/Garden.
Questions? Contact Lissa Morrison - lissam49@yahoo.com or at BGO - 750-2620.
