TogetherGreen Cleanup Blast at Rocky Creek

As part of our TogetherGreen initiative, KVLT has partnered with the Great Falls Hometown Association to initiate a cleanup at the Rocky Creek Trail, in Great Falls, SC.  In 2009, the trail, which is open to the public, was designated as an Audubon Important Bird Area and is one of the first official legs of the Carolina Thread Trail.   

Join us for a day on the creek!  We’ll start at 8:30 AM on Saturday April 24th with a guided nature walk along the trail and then transition into a cleanup, filled with exciting contests and prizes for those who collect the most trash.  For complete details, please click "read more" below.
