PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale’s “Season of Service” continues this Saturday, March 2, with a Community Cleanup event at the Barrel Springs Trail.

Participants will meet at the Barrel Springs Park & Ride, located at Pearblossom Highway and 25th Street East. Registration will take place from 8 to 8:30 a.m. on location. Work will begin at 8:30 a.m. Participants are encouraged to bring work gloves and rakes. Volunteers under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must complete a Release of Liability (available at www.cityofpalmdale.org or at event registration).

“Make a difference in your community by [participating in] Palmdale’s 6th annual Season of Service,” stated Community Programs Coordinator Trish Jones. “Our theme this year is Serve, Learn, Give, and between now and May there are many opportunities to volunteer your time, learn about the community and give back in areas that are meaningful to you.”

Palmdale residents last year donated more than 35,000 volunteer service hours.

“If you have an idea for a project or you want to participate in something but you’re not quite sure what, give us a call at 661-267-5473 and we can help your identify areas of interest,” Jones added.

  1. @ HaHa, what time did you go? I take my dog walking there in the morning and it is so sad to see all the trash. It seems that each time I go I see more and more of it, the police should have patrols there super early or super late , that is when the dumping occurs.

  2. Careful when/where you go to Barrell Springs. You might witness something you can’t unsee. I learned this the hard way.
