Hosted on April 21, 2018, the event invites participants to join a trash collection and recycling effort as well as to donate used bicycles to be featured in a community art project.
“Our mission is to create a sustainable community that fosters environmental stewardship and social responsibility,” said Hunter Matthews, marketing manager, Wendell Falls. “Wendell Falls (Re)Cycles will be an opportunity for Wendell residents to enjoy camaraderie, take an active role in our town’s wellbeing and invest in the community’s legacy.”

Once divided into teams, participants will be challenged to a light-hearted scavenger hunt to collect and recycle trash across trails, roads and parks near Wendell Falls. Participants will receive snacks, treats and goody bags.
During the event, participants may donate used bicycles at the Farmhouse to be featured as a 3D element in an upcoming community art project.
