SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – While most of Spartanburg’s main roadways have no remaining trace of Helene, lots of parks and trails do. There are a few chances this weekend to help these areas become cleared and back to normal.
On Saturday, two non-profit organizations, Play, Advocate, Live Well and The Spartanburg Area Conservancy have trail clean-up volunteer opportunities.
PAL will meet at South Converse Park, E Hampton Avenue, and said they will provide gloves, hand tools and waters. They ask that volunteers bring wheelbarrows, flat-nosed shovels, pitchforks, rakes, or any other tools that could be useful if you have them available.
SPACE will be at two locations, one at the Glendale Shoals Preserve, Emma Cudd Road, and the Cottonwood Trail. They advise volunteers to wear sturdy shoes and bring work gloves, loppers, hand saws, and other tools to help clear limbs and debris from the trails.
The City of Spartanburg said there are also lots of other opportunities to volunteer to help our community recover. For other ways to get involved in community recovery efforts, follow this link: United Way of the Piedmont ‘s resource page at https://www.uwpiedmont.org/unitedforall .
