The public is invited to lend a hand in an effort to preserve the St. Joseph Riverfront Park.
A clean-up event held by Riverfront Rescue will be held Saturday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Riverfront Park. Participants are asked to bring gloves, rakes, shovels, trimmers, and other items to help spruce up the park and surrounding area.
Riverfront Rescue coordinator Madison Davis previously told the St. Joseph Post he started the Facebook page Riverfront Rescue in March of 2014 in an effort to invited citizens who want to help maintain the park.
“I don’t know if you’ve been to Riverfront park in the last three to five years but right now unfortunately it’s basically a place for people to go and not just be there for a positive purpose,” said Davis. “We’re trying to bring light to the area and clean it back up in a positive light.”
