A look at the week-long cleanup at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum

The annual volunteer clean-up is different this year at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum. The refuge has hosted a clean-up for nearly 20 years. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, it was a one-day event in April. To maximize impact and keep proper social distancing the clean-up is spread out over the week. It will run through Saturday, April 17, 2021.
