In celebration of official CITO Week and with the assistance of Cheyenne's Parks & Recreation department, we have identified another piece of the greenway that is in dire need of our attention! The section is a short 0.6 mile stretch located between Powderhouse Rd (near the Pier One store) and Meadowland Dr (near the Old Chicago), roughly parallel to and south of Stillwater Ave.
Cheyenne Greenway - Stillwater Stretch
(Between Powderhouse Rd & Meadowland Dr)
Starting Point: Pier One parking lot
Ending Point: Old Chicago
Event Date: 21 April 2018
Event Time: 10:30 - 11:30 am
We will have water at the starting point, as well as trash bags and latex gloves. We will travel east collecting anything we can see, and will finish up at Old Chicago for an early lunch and to celebrate a job well done. The event host will not be buying lunch, but will be providing geotag prizes for the oldest item and the most interesting item found during the cleanup, so keep ahold of items you think may qualify until the judging at the end!
Judging will be done by popular vote before going in to Old Chicago for lunch (they probably wouldn't appreciate us bringing in a bunch of trash). The path is concrete and so is wheel-chair/stroller accessible, but much of the work will be done off the sides of the trail, which are not well maintained and in some stretches exceed a 45-degree slope. Recommend wearing the usual: closed toed shoes, sturdy pants, weather-appropriate clothing, etc. In case of snow or ice, please use caution on the sloping areas and approach from the down-slope side whenever possible. In addition, there is a creek that runs parallel to most of this stretch, so please watch your footing when at the foot of the slope. Thanks, and look forward to seeing everyone out there!
Thank you to everyone who came and helped clean up this section of the greenway, we collected a total of eight bags of trash, a broken wheelbarrow, and a pallet! Congratulations to KaiWarrior, OneKindWord, and lilDinoMan for winning geotag prizes!
