ABOUT THE SPRING CLEANUP IN THE FOOTHILLS EVENT:

Join the Open Space Division in a Spring cleanup of your favorite Foothills Open Space area! Each Saturday during April we will be getting together at a different Foothills parking area for a variety of grooming projects such as graffiti removal, trash cleanup or trail maintenence.

Prizes will be given for most unusual trash!

Walk, bike or carpool. Come out and meet Open Space representatives, neighbors and fellow trail users. Have some fun and show your support for the Sandia Foothills! Please bring gloves, a water bottle, sturdy outdoor shoes, and sun protection.
