MURFREESBORO — Some
members of the MTSU community will be spending their spring break helping the
greater Murfreesboro community.
Volunteers are being recruited to help clean up Sinking
Creek and the adjacent wetland between McAlister’s Deli and Murfreesboro Animal
Clinic at 1616 Memorial Blvd. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 11.
The project seeks to remove trash and debris that are
clogging the stream. Volunteers will need to bring gloves, work boots, bottled
water and snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and waders, if available.
Lunch will not be provided. Volunteers will be dismissed for
lunch between noon and 1 p.m.
This event is part of MTSU’s Alternative Breaks Program. The
university’s Office of Student Organizations & Service offers students
opportunities to make a difference in the community in a local, national or
global effort.
Partners in the Sinking Creek cleanup include the City of
Murfreesboro and the stormwater program of MTSU’s Office of Environmental
Health and Safety.
To volunteer, or to obtain more information, contact Jackie
Victory at 615-898-5812 or jackie.victory@mtsu.edu.
