Spring cleaning

Members of the newly established City of Wayne Parks and Trails Committee along with several volunteers joined the effort to clean and
maintain Attwood Park in the city last week. Volunteers raked, pruned overgrown trees and hauled away bags of debris from the park. The
first effort of the group was deemed a success by the group of volunteers dedicated to keeping city parks, trails, and greenspaces clean
and free of litter. A second clean-up effort will be scheduled by the group soon, officials said, and volunteers are always welcome.
