Prince George's County to Hold Landscaping Event

Prince George’s County is getting a greener look.

The fourth annual “Clean Up Green Up” initiative will be held on Oct. 18. The event gives local businesses, community organizations, schools and residents the opportunity to improve Prince George’s County’s appearance with new plantings in their neighborhoods.

“I look forward to working together with the volunteers as we beautify our communities,” County Executive Rushern L. Baker III said.

The Department of Public Works and Transportation will provide plants, planting instructions and litter collection supplies to the participants, while the Neighborhood Design Center will provide landscaping assistance.

Students who participate in “Clean Up Green Up” activities will receive community service credit.
