MLK Cleanup at Long Branch Local Park

Black and white photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He leans forward and has his hands in front of him with interlocking fingers. He looks off to the side in thought. Text reads: MLK Day. Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

Join Montgomery Parks & Friends of Sligo Creek in celebrating MLK Day through at a volunteer park cleanup! Help beautify your community green spaces, keep litter out of our streams, and protect wildlife.
