Grants Pass, OR — ParkwatchGP has announced the cancellation of its first scheduled cleanup event for 2025, which was set to take place at Gilbert Creek on Sunday, January 5th. Instead, the organization is inviting members and volunteers to a meeting at 2:00 PM at The Growler, located on F Street in the former DMV building.
This change of plans comes as ParkwatchGP looks to kick off the new year with a focus on organization, planning, and camaraderie. The meeting, with a reserved table starting at 1:30 PM for early arrivals, promises an engaging discussion on the group’s goals and activities for the upcoming year. Attendees can also enjoy refreshments as they connect with fellow members and discuss strategies to enhance the local parks.
“We love our parks, and we’re committed to making a positive impact,” a ParkwatchGP representative stated. “While we’re disappointed about canceling the Gilbert Creek cleanup, this meeting will be an excellent opportunity to share ideas, plan future activities, and welcome new volunteers into our community.”
As a token of appreciation, the group will be distributing special pins to new volunteers who attend the meeting, symbolizing their commitment to preserving and improving the city’s beloved parks. The organization encourages everyone interested in supporting their mission to join, whether they are long-time members or newcomers.
The meeting will address several key topics, including upcoming cleanups, strategies for enhancing park safety, and ways to better engage the community in caring for local green spaces. Volunteers are encouraged to come prepared to share their thoughts and ideas on how ParkwatchGP can make a meaningful difference in 2025.
