Woodbridge, Va. –– Take a closer look beneath the waters of the Neabsco Creek and you’ll see tires and other plastic trashed that’s gathered there over the years.
On the ground near the stream lie old tarps, rusted out sheets of metal, plastic toys, soccer balls and a small assortment of other unsavory items you wouldn’t want in your front yard.
But now the Woodbridge Potomac Communities Civic Association wants to clean up the area.
They will hold a creek clean-up event on Saturday March 19 from 9 a.m. to Noon.
Those who want to participate are encouraged to wear boots or old shoes, as well as old clothes they you don’t mind getting dirty.
You’re also asked to bring a shovel, and to put your name on it, as this job may require a bit of elbow grease to clean up the creek.
Children are also welcome at the clean up, said WCCA spokesman Colin Davenport.
The association will provide volunteers with gloves, vests and trash bags.
Participants are encouraged to park at Neabsco Eagles Park (at the baseball fields) off Neabsco Road.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
