The best and easiest way to honor Earth Month is by organizing a litter cleanup: on your street, in your neighborhood, at your school - anywhere you see litter in your community! We provide all the tools: litter grabbers, gloves, safety vests, and trash bags; You provide the power! Just use our <a href="https://keepdurhambeautiful.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e21318aa3faf422ec323577dd&id=155bf17b5a&e=79a8c34cb0" style="color:#f7471e;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><u><strong>Tool Lending Library</strong></u></a> to reserve supplies. We can even help you recruit volunteers for your cleanup!<br>
<br>
The NCDOT is also hosting its <strong>Spring Litter Sweep</strong>, a biannual statewide roadside litter removal initiative, from <strong>April 16-30</strong>.

Plant these seeds in a special place where you and our friendly pollinators will enjoy the blooms. Pollinators rely on flower nectar and pollen as a food source.
