Ed Wagman of the Rotary Club of York-North is the project Chairman of the cleanup along Greenbrier Road as part of PennDOT’s Adopt-a-Highway program. Through this program, we sign a three-year contract with PennDOT, during which we commit to cleaning a designated two-to-three-mile stretch of road twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall.
The Rotary Club of York-North has been maintaining Greenbrier Road for about fifteen years now. We typically schedule cleanups in early spring before the foliage fills in and again in the fall after the leaves drop, which makes it easier to spot litter.
In addition to the road cleanup, The Rotary Club of York-North takes on several environmental initiatives throughout the year. Last fall, we helped plant vegetation in a rain garden along the rail trail and Route 30. We’ve also partnered with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to plant trees. These projects align with Rotary’s broader goal of environmental stewardship and making a positive impact in our community.
