From 9 a.m.—3 p.m., Team Members will be working to remove invasive plant species and debris from the Three Rivers Heritage Trail and Ohio riverfront.
The Tireless Project is a collaborative endeavor between several local organizations committed to stewardship of the rivers and streams in Allegheny County, including Friends of the Riverfront and Allegheny CleanWays.
