Dwyer Community Volunteer Day – New Orleans

Healthy Gulf is leading a one-day community beautification and environmental education event supported by Culture of Cleanliness. The event will bring together volunteers coordinated through NetWork Volunteers, including middle-school students from California, ages 12–14, and chaperones and staff.

Melia, Rosedale, and Pines Village Neighborhood Associations will be invited to participate. Volunteers will beautify the three rain gardens installed along Dwyer by Urban Conservancy in partnership with the neighborhood associations, beautify Digby Park, and conduct litter abatement along the Dwyer Walking Trail.

Participants will document the types of debris collected, infrastructure failures, and quality-of-life or code-enforcement concerns. They will also receive education on pollution, climate, and the circular economy. The event will end with a closing gathering at Digby Park.

Tuesday, September 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
