Saturday, April 6 – Mercer County
ANNUAL PRINCETON BATTLEFIELD
CLEAN UP DAY ANNOUNCED
The annual Clean-Up Day at the Princeton Battlefield State Park (500 Mercer Road, Princeton) will be held on Saturday, April 6 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. In cooperation with the American Battlefield Trust’s national Park Day, Mike Russell, a Princeton Battlefield Society trustee is chair of this year’s event. A rain date is set for April 13.
“The Princeton Battlefield Society invites friends, neighbors and community
groups,” announced Russell, “to join us in sprucing up this national historic
site, to keep it preserved and pristine. We already have a strong corps of
volunteers, including Sierra Club members and scouts from Troop 1 of
Providence, New Jersey, but we have room for a lot more.”
Teams of volunteers will branch out for three hours to focus on specific areas of the park including the Brush & Branch Battalion, the Back Road Regiment, the Invasive Weed Corps, the Pick Up Sticks Squad and the all-purpose, Anywhere army. It is recommended that volunteers bring their own gloves, clippers, rakes, goggles, tarps, etc. Water will be provided, along with a
national Park Day t-shirt while supplies last.
