Thank You for Registering:
Cleveland Park Planting Day Sponsored By REI Co-op
Tomorrow, Saturday, March 19, we will be planting native wetland vegetation in the Reedy River floodplain.

Our focus area is subject to sediment deposition from upstream waters and could use our help to be sure that the sediment solidifies on the bank rather than washing away. Sediment is one of the leading pollutants in the Reedy River, so by installing plants that anchor sediment and catch fine particles, we will be able to reduce the amount of pollution that is carried downstream. This will also help beautify the area and provide habitat for pollinators and other wildlife who make their homes along the Reedy River.

All plants for this event were provided through the SC Native Plant Society, through donation by the NPS and funding from REI.

Again, thank you for signing up to volunteer to make a difference in the health of the Reedy River by reducing sediment pollution! We hope you will enjoy learning more about wetland plants and floodplains and look forward seeing you on Saturday!

Where to Park
Limited parking will be available onsite. Please navigate to the intersection of Ridgeland Drive and Cleveland Park Drive to find the site (you can do this by searching "Ridgeland Drive and Cleveland Park Drive" in most map search bars).

There is a gravel pull-off located just off of Cleveland Park Drive that you can use to walk onto the site. We will have a sign to mark the entrance.

Onsite parking will not be available due to the heavy rains making the parking area quite muddy. Please park along Sherwood Street or Ridgeland Drive (highlighted below) and walk to our site. Please use caution when crossing the roads and utilize crosswalks wherever possible.

See the map below for more details. Suggested parking is marked in green.
