Plateau Pickup
Written By: Johanna Fein, Highlands Chamber of Commerce/ Visit Highlands, NC | Issue: March 2024
Like a wild scavenger hunt that’s laden with surprises, everyone’s invited to the Highlands Chamber of Commerce’s Plateau Pickup, slated for Saturday, April 13.
Volunteers are needed for the annual Plateau Pickup scheduled for Saturday, April 13. The event will begin at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street at 8:30 A.M., where volunteers will receive geographic assignments for stretches of U.S. 64, N.C. 28, N.C. 106 and parts of downtown Highlands.
Volunteers will receive a light breakfast, a safety vest, gloves, pick-up tools, garbage bags and a thank you t-shirt. A boxed lunch will be served to volunteers when they return to the park at noon.
“In 2023 we had more than 120 volunteers collect 905 cubic yards of garbage,” says Kaye McHan, executive director of the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands. “It is so nice to see the community come together to beautify
our roadways.”
Plateau Pickup is organized by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands. To participate, send an email to [email protected] or call (828) 526-5841. For more information about Plateau Pickup or other Highlands events, visit highlandschamber.org.
