Rotary clubs come together to clean up camp

Four local Rotary clubs are combining volunteer forces for a "Rotary Gives Thanks" Community Service Day from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 24.

Volunteers from Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise, Rotary Club of Simi Sunset, Rotary Club of Simi Valley and Rotary Club of Moorpark will work together to spruce up Camp Rotary in Simi Valley.

The scheduled work projects include clearing out shrubbery and overgrowth around the campsite, amphitheater and fire pit areas; spreading additional decomposed granite around the fire pit; clearing debris and unwanted plants out of the creek bed; and graffiti removal from inside the wildlife tunnel under the 118 Freeway.

Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District will supply the volunteers with paint and rollers for the graffiti removal, a dumpster, trash bags, tools, decomposed granite and safety equipment.

The camp is at the eastern end of Corriganville Park, 7001 Smith Road, and can be reached either by the maintenance access road or the park's Loop Trail.
