Pitch-In Picton

 Demonstrate community care
 Meet your neighbours
 Appreciate the earth

Ever feel like you can’t make a difference? It’s not true!

Give a little love back to the community where you live and share the responsibility of caring for the land by picking up trash with your neighbours.

Pitch-In Picton is a monthly, one-hour, mini trash-bash meets nature walk meets local history tour. From April to October, Feral Folc and the Picton BIA are committed to wandering the mean streets of Picton in a search for trash and other community clean-up opportunities.

Everyone is welcome! There is no fee to participate and no need to register in advance.

Thanks to the Picton BIA, all garbage and recycling bags, gloves, hand-sanitizer, bag tags, and snacks are supplied. We will ensure that all the waste collected is properly disposed of.

Bonus: receive a local gift certificate in exchange for your participation!

Being open to meeting and working collaboratively with new people, asking questions, practicing respect for the land and each other.

Dress yourself to be outdoors rain or shine and safely pick up garbage – you may wish to bring your own supplies, wagon, or pick up sticks.

Show up, even if you feel unsure.

Meet Mark & Becky outside the Picton Library at 6 pm on Thursday, July 23. We’ll go together to the designated street(s)/location(s) for pick-up – for July we’ll focus on the back alleys, side street and green spaces between Main Street and Delhi Park!

We will cover 1-2km of distance, mostly on sidewalks, in alleys and parking lots but can sometimes include parks and other uneven surfaces. Options for those with reduced mobility are available – for those looking for support in fully participating please let us know how we can help in advance by emailing feralfolc@gmail.com

If weather conditions make it unsafe to Pitch-In we will postpone to the following Thursday, and update over our social media channels at least an hour before the event. If you’re late or lost you can text Becky at 613-503-1309
