2022 Annual Meadowglen Clean up Recap

We had a sensational turnout of energetic Meadowglen residents, young and old and in between, on Saturday, April 23^rd! About fifty people came to pick up litter and spread a truckload of mulch in our flower beds. We had the additional help of about six Arvada firefighters, who joined right in to help out, when they weren’t showing off their trucks and gear to the children. It was heartwarmng and inspiring to see all the activity and camaraderie as we quickly accomplished the work.

As a community, we adopt Little Dry Creek Trail between Club Crest Drive and Pomona Drive. We no longer have organized events to maintain the area, since we do such a fine job with our routine maintenance. It seems we just pick up trash as we see it, which is wonderful, and let’s keep on doing that. On our cleaning day we also gathered litter from the perimeter of our subdivision, along 80^th Avenue, Pomona Drive, 81^st Place and Club Crest Drive. There was a lot of trash in those areas.

And, several people spent a good deal of effort gathering tree limbs that had been tossed into our common areas. With the threat of potential wildfire, we wanted to clear our areas of possible fuel. That was a lot of work! The City of Arvada is kindly going to pick up that big pile of rubbish, but just this one time! Please let’s all refrain from throwing our tree, brush and yard waste onto our common property. It’s actually against city ordinance and residents can be fined for doing so.

Again, we give a huge thank you to all who came out to help on our Annual Cleaning Day, and also to all who routinely help keep our subdivision clear of trash.

The Board would like to express a special thanks to Cathy Bartle and Debby Porecco for their long-time contributions in planning this annual event and keeping Meadowglen beautiful!
