Message from the Acting County Executive
Dear Prince Georgians,
Spring is right around the corner, and I am delighted to invite you to participate in our Spring 2025 “Growing Green with Pride Day” community clean-up event.
Please join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a countywide beautification day. We need you to help us keep Prince George’s County clean and beautiful by spreading mulch, picking up roadside litter, and removing illegal dumping.
It takes all of us to keep our communities vibrant and beautiful. Now is the time for every one of us to roll up our sleeves, join forces, and transform our efforts into lasting impact. The Department of Public Works and Transportation will provide bags, gloves, safety vests, litter grabbers, and mulch. We need every available pair of helping hands to roll up their sleeves and amplify our impact.
Volunteer on your own or, enlist your community or organization. Just complete the registration form to get the ball rolling. If you’re volunteering as a group, include the name and mailing address of your organization or the organization’s primary contact, the expected number of volunteers, and the area and street name(s) of where your community will be cleaning. The registration deadline for signing up is Friday, April 18, 2025.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make Spring 2025 “Growing Green with Pride Day” a huge success for Prince George’s County. Together, we will ensure that Prince George’s County remains the Crown Jewel of Maryland.
Sincerely,
Tara H. Jackson
