Hundreds of volunteers are expected at an event Saturday designed to clean up the area around a southeastern Kentucky park.
The group PRIDE serves 42 counties in the region, and is kicking off its Spring Cleanup Campaign Saturday morning at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park.
PRIDE president Tammi Wilson says the effort will target trash pickup along the roadway leading into and out of the park in McCreary and Whitley counties.
“We’ve had as many as 507 volunteers at this event at one time. We pick up about, just under, a thousand bags of trash on that 27 miles of roadway. So you can just imagine the impact that that makes—almost a thousand bags of trash no longer on the roadway," Wilson said.
Volunteers can register for the event Saturday morning at 9:00 eastern time, with the cleanup taking place from 10:00am to noon.
