We will be working at Carriage Hill MetroPark Farm in Dayton. This is a part of the Dayton MetroParks. Activities can include trail cleanup, garden, cleanup, or other cleanup services. Carriage Hill Farm is a wonderful resource for the Greater Dayton Community; it serves hundreds of children and adults each year. Gloves and bottled water will be provided. The project will last from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Children aged 8 and older may participate with parental supervision.

Lunch

We will break for lunch around 12 Noon. Please bring something that you can share with others.

Directions

Carriage Hill Metro Park is about 13.9 miles northeast of downtown Dayton. From the intersection of I-75 and Us 35 in downtown Dayton, take I-75 North 8.2 miles to I-70. Go right (east) on I-70 for 4.8 miles to State Route 201 and turn left (north). Go approximately 1 mile on SR 201 and turn right into the park entrance at Shull Road.

Additional Information

This large Metro Park (nearly 1000acres) was developed from farmland many years ago. In addition to a working historical farm, the park includes large woodland and meadow areas. There are several groves of evergreens (Pines and Red Cedars) scattered about the park. A 14-acre lake was built just north of the farm, and includes a boardwalk through the marsh at the west end of the lake. Several small ponds and streams provide additional edge habitat. It is often worth checking active bird feeds maintained at the VisitorÕs Center/Farm complex.
