Brook Hill Park Cleanup
2026-06-14 09:00 - 11:00 | Brook Hill Park, 2009 Rio Mills Rd, Earlysville, VA, 22936
Join RCA for a trash cleanup focused on the parking lot and beach at the tiny and lesser-known Brook Hill Park. Bring river shoes if you would like to get in to the water – it is rocky. This park does not have any amenities beyond a trash can and parking lot.
Bring a water bottle and wear sturdy shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. RCA will provide gloves, trash pickers, and garbage bags. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
This is a weather dependent event. Questions? Email in**@**********er.org. Thanks for helping keep our watershed beautiful!
