Celebrate Earth Day this year by spending some time caring for the environment.

The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau is seeking volunteers for its regionwide litter pickup day on April 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. rain or shine. The Pick Up the Poconos Spring Cleanup is just one component of the PMVB’s “Pick Up the Poconos” campaign.

Anyone interested in helping the cause can fill out a volunteer form located at PickUpthePoconos.com.

The deadline to sign up is April 18 by 5 p.m.

There are more than 20 locations across Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Carbon counties for volunteers to choose from. There are also various private cleanups happening in conjunction with this initiative. Volunteers will receive supply kits on the day of the cleanup consisting of trash bags, gloves, safety vests and other supplies.

After the cleanup, volunteers are invited to the first-ever Earth Day Celebration at Pocono Organics for exclusive access to great door prizes plus free food, beverages, educational activities and more. Volunteers will receive more information on this event following their online registration.

The PMVB is in the process of planning its Fall Pick Up the Poconos Day on Sept. 24. More information will be announced.
