Spring Cleanup '08 Photos

Saturday, June 7 at noon

Enjoy an easy walk or bike ride at your own pace with your young children through the Hilltop Reservation - the newest park in Essex County (Rain date, June 8) The route is approximately 1.5 miles long and never bothered by annoying vehicles! Bikes with training wheels are welcome. Please try to arrive by 11:45 a.m.

Park in the lot behind the sports field on Mountain Avenue in North Caldwell (Courter Road entrance to the Hilltop Reservation). The marked route starts directly from the parking lot.

Don’t bring money. The ride, beautiful scenery and memories are free. Do bring helmets, a camera and perhaps some drinks or snacks for your children. You may want to allow additional time to explore the many new trails.

Two to three ambassadors are needed for no more than about an hour at the start of the event, 11:45 to about 12:45 to welcome (and count) participants, provide some encouragement to the little ones and usually answer questions about the Hilltop and the changes that are coming VicePresident@HilltopConservancy.org or meet me at the start shortly before noon.
Of course anyone helping should take some time to do the bike ride or hike!
