What is a Clean Up Day? How do you participate? Is this a family-friendly event? How long is the clean up? What is for breakfast? Should you bring anything? What happens at the end?

Read on for answers to these questions below.

What is a Haywood Road Clean Up Day?
A morning where volunteers work to pick up trash and recycling along the Haywood Road corridor with the support of Asheville GreenWorks. We alternate between the east end and west end of the road. (Clean Up Days this year are on March 29, June 6, September 5, and November 7, 2020.)

How do you participate?

1-RSVP, especially if you are bringing multiple people with you
2-Show up at 10am at Zia Taqueria
3-Eat some breakfast
4-Gear up with gloves, safety vest, bags, and tools
5-Head out to pick up trash and recycling along the corridor and side streets
6-Finish at New Belgium Brewing to return gloves, vests, tools and pick up your ice cream coupon or free beer (21 and up)!

Is this a family-friendly event?
Yes, although not recommended for very small children. Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up. An adult signature on the Asheville GreenWorks waiver form is required.

How long is the clean up?
Generally volunteers are out about 1.5 hours, so you should expect to finish up about noon. Just in time for the festivities at New Belgium Brewing!

What is for breakfast?
Zia Taqueria, Sunny Point Café, Biscuit Head, and West End Bakery are donating delicious breakfast items for volunteers including scrambled eggs, potatoes, breakfast meats and veggie options, biscuits, juice, and coffee. WABA will also be proving fresh fruit.

Should you bring anything?
Asheville GreenWorks will supply gloves (adult size), safety vests, and trash bags for everyone. They’ll also have a limited supply of tools. With the support of Madden’s Ace Hardware, WABA has a collection of trash grabbers and a few brooms available for volunteers to use.

If you have your own grabber, a flat-headed shovel, or industrial broom, we recommend you bring it.

What happens at the end?
Finish up at New Belgium Brewing and return items you borrowed from Asheville GreenWorks or WABA to receive a coupon good for a scoop of ice cream at The Hop West or a New Belgium beer (21 and up)!

We look forward to seeing you! Remember to RSVP by clicking through on the ticket link.

Down the Hatch Festival

The Down the Hatch Festival at Highland Brewing Company begins with an afternoon full of live music, the latest in outdoor and fly-fishing gear, great food and world-class beer, and a chance to watch the best of the best showcase their skills in the Orvis Guide Olympics.

FernLeaf Yard Sale & Lemonade Stand

At FernLeaf, community is an important value we are intentional about cultivating. One of the ways we are doing that this spring is through FernLeaf Improvement Projects (FLIP) involving students across grade levels.

These projects will affect our school, scholars, and campus in a myriad of positive ways.

One FLIP focus is a Rain Garden — a garden designed to collect run-off from the parking lot from going into our watershed and specifically Cane Creek which runs through our campus.

This industrious group has planned a yard sale for March 30 to help raise the funds for their garden. They are accepting donations and you can plan to shop for some incredible bargains. Both options help their fundraising efforts.

Oh, and because shopping can make a person thirsty, they will also be running a Lemonade Stand.

Her testimony on Capitol Hill was instrumental in the passage of federal student safety legislation, and she has assisted the U.S. Department of Education in developing and providing programs to women in high-risk communities.
