On July 17th 2021, members from the Bergen branch hosted a park cleanup at the Overpeck Park in Bergen County. We partnered with the Bergen County Department of Health Services to organize the cleanup. Much of the trash washed up at the boating docks, so a lot of time was spent at the river banks, picking up plastic bags, bottles, cans, and other litter.
Members: Ben Labib (3 hours), Maggie Yan (4 hours)
