Written by

A slate of monthly litter cleanups in Sylva will kick off at noon Saturday, April 30, at Bryson Park on Chipper Curve Road.

Sylva’s commissioners decided to start the program as a way to beautify the town while engaging with citizens and modeling good stewardship themselves. Commissioner David Nestler will lead the cleanup, which will conclude at 3 p.m. with volunteers invited to Bridge Park to wrap up the day with complimentary hot dogs off the grill.

Commissioner Barbara Hamilton will lead the next cleanup in May, with a date to be determined. The plan is for commissioners to rotate leadership of the monthly cleanups. 

David Nestler, 828.399.1462.
