In honor of Earth Day, the public is invited to join in the effort to clean up Marsh Creek near Sachs Covered Bridge in Cumberland Township.
The Gettysburg Nature Alliance (GNA) will host the event Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a release.

GNA will provide cleaning supplies, but participants are welcome to bring their own. We recommend wearing rain boots and insect repellent.
Participants will be entered into a drawing to win a free 1-year GNA membership.
This event will be held at the Saxbridge Barn located at 720 Pumping Station Road. Participants must take the first left turn after passing the bridge bend.
