Neighborhood service projects on MLK Day

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. ― Martin Luther King Jr.

What a neighborhood: not one, not two, but THREE clean-ups were organized as service projects to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. ICS volunteers tidied up the area behind and around the school, neighbors picked up litter off roadsides, and the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve mulched, tidied up and planted seedings.

Thank you to all the volunteers!

Begone, English ivy; the remaining "above shoulder" height tendrils will die. Die!
Also at the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, this damaged maple was safely removed
by an arborist.

MLK Service Project @ Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve [Jan 21]


Monday, January 21
9am - noon
2590 Pine Bluff Dr., Decatur GA 30033  map

Here's a chance for a service project very close to home at the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve! Please come help remove dead privet from Pine Bluff and drag it to the street to be chipped, clear some ivy from trees in that area, and mulch trails. There will be some tools for volunteers to use but if you have them, bring your own gloves and maybe some loppers.
