Henry County Parks & Recreation is participating in UWHCM’s Day of Action and is requesting volunteer support for a litter clean‑up along the Dick & Willie Passage Trail. Volunteers will help maintain one of the community’s most popular outdoor recreation spaces by removing litter and debris along a 1.38‑mile stretch of trail from the Virginia Avenue Trailhead (1094 Virginia Ave., Martinsville) to the Liberty Street Access Point (699 Liberty St., Martinsville).
Volunteers may be asked to assist with one or more of the following tasks:
Walking the designated trail section and collecting litter
Bagging and staging trash for pickup
Light debris removal to improve trail appearance and safety
This project supports Henry County’s ongoing efforts to keep public recreation areas clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors. Maintaining the Dick & Willie Trail enhances community health, outdoor activity, and environmental stewardship.
Materials Provided: Trash bags and any necessary cleanup supplies

Work gloves
Comfortable walking shoes
Outdoor‑appropriate clothing
Trash‑grabber tool (also known as a litter picker or reach‑and‑grab tool)
