About Greener Codorus Initiative

Join us for weekly vegetation maintenance to keep harmful herbicides from being sprayed along the Codorus Creek in York City.

Our 2022 season is upon us! Come out and chop some vegetation along the Codorus Creek. In the past, the Army Corps of Engineers would spray herbicides to keep a clear line of sight to visually inspect their levies and flood control walls. However, for the last 8 years we've stopped those harmful herbicides from being sprayed by manually controlling vegetative growth keeping the Codorus Creek in downtown York GREEN. It is very rewarding to be a part of this great work.
