Please join your fellow HYP members and members of the community the day after Earth day on April 23rd to beautify Forster Street.
In 1998, HYP planted the first trees in the Forster Street median. This year, HYP will be partnering with Tri County Community Action for the Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup.
Come help us clean up litter, pull weeds, and beautify this well-traveled gateway to Harrisburg.
Food, drink, gloves, and safety gear will be provided. Tools will be provided, but bringing your own will leave more for others.
Registration is required and the first 50 registrants will receive a free HYP event t-shirt.
For questions or more information, please contact Beautification@hyp.org

Please join us on September 24th, 25th, & 26th for the 22nd annual Forster Street Cleanup! This year, the event will be held over several days to encourage COVID-19 safety practices, but we will still be cleaning up litter, pulling weeds, and beautifying the same well-traveled gateway to Harrisburg. Please bring a mask, as well as gloves and a water bottle, if possible. Tools will be provided, but bringing your own will leave more for others. We encourage you to RSVP as soon as you can, as attendance may be capped for safety reasons.

All community members are invited to join the HYP Beautification committee at 9:00am on April 23 for the annual HYP Forster Street Clean Up. 18 years ago, HYP’s founders decided to take on their first City Beautification initiative by completely redesigning the Forster Street median. At the time, the median was a large section of concrete painted green, with no plantings, trees, or aesthetics. As one of the city’s main corridors, Forster Street needed a beautification effort, and HYP completed the first-ever Forster Street Clean Up. Since that day, HYP has remained committed to maintaining the median and restoring it each Spring.
We will collect litter, pull weeds, lay fresh mulch and plant shrubs to get the iconic city street median ready for Spring. Attendees are invited to bring gardening tools to help with the event such as brooms, shovels, rakes and leaf blowers. Lunch will be provided by HYP to thank attendees for helping in this effort to make Harrisburg a better place to live, work and play.
Free Parking is available at the Associated Pennsylvania Constructors office (800 N 3rd. St, Harrisburg, PA 17102)
