ASTORIA — Astoria Parks and Recreation’s Citizen’s Helping Improve Parks (CHIP-in) program will host its next park cleanup at Cathedral Tree Trail. Volunteers will meet at the Astoria Column on 1 Coxcomb Drive from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 19.

“This CHIP-in day will be far different from what we have accomplished in the past. It is the first opportunity we have had to work on the trail with volunteers,” Jonah Dart-McLean, maintenance supervisor for Astoria Parks and Recreation, said. “We have added a variety of volunteer work for 2015, and we hope that citizens can participate in supporting this beloved trail.”

Volunteers interested in partaking in the CHIP-in event at Cathedral Tree Trail are asked to bring sturdy work gloves, weed whackers, hand pruners, or loppers if they have them. Volunteers are also urged to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

CHIP-in has other volunteer opportunities available with monthly park clean-ups as well as park adoption. More information is available on the Astoria Parks & Recreation Facebook page and at www.astoriaparks.com. Interested persons may also contact Dart-McLean at 503-741-1600 or at jdart@astoria.or.us
