Volunteers needed for cleanup in Augusta County

Volunteers are needed Nov. 15 to clean up trash at one of the most significant natural areas in Augusta County.

The cleanup will be at Mount Joy Pond Natural Area Preserve starting at 9:30 a.m. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the preserve’s manager, Adam Christie, at 540-292-3265 or adam.christie@dcr.virginia.gov. Driving directions will be provided to those who sign up.

The 274-acre preserve in southern Augusta County is home to globally rare plants and a maturing pine and hardwood forest. The centerpiece of the preserve is a large sinkhole pond, a feature that occurs in only a few places in Virginia.

Mount Joy Pond Natural Area Preserve is owned and managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. A $1,000 grant from Keep Virginia Beautiful is helping to cover cleanup costs.
