PREAKNESS CLEAN-UP 1999

PIMLICO RACETRACK - - BALTIMORE, MD

One way you can help save the Rainforest!

Join the Mid-Atlantic Reptile Show (MARS), MARS Preservation Fund,
Inc., the National Aquarium at Baltimore, the Nature Conservancy
and others in our annual clean-up at Pimlico Racetrack following
the Preakness. All the proceeds from our work and the recycled
aluminum cans go directly towards the purchase and permanent
protection of rainforest acreage in Costa Rica.
We will once again have a picnic lunch and great prizes for
volunteers following the clean-up. Lunch will be provided by
Phillips Harborplace. Prizes include: gift certificates from many
restaurants, movie passes, comedy clubpasses, gift packs from the
National Aquarium in Baltimore, free passes to the Mid-Atlantic
Reptile Show and many more!
Over the past 9 years, we have raised over $69,000 to purchase 581
acres of rainforest in Costa Rica's Talamanca Biosphere Reserve.
This coastal reserve is the home to thousands of species of
mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and numerous other creatures.
North American song birds such as the Baltimore Oriole are known to
migrate during the winter to this region. This reserve also
includes important nesting beaches for endangered leatherback sea
turtles and is the home to many tropical frogs like the red-eyed
tree frog and four species of poison dart frogs.
This year's clean-up will take place on MAY 16 from 6:00 a.m. -
12:00 p.m. and involves picking up aluminum cans and trash from
approximately 1/3 the infield (an amount that will increase as
volunteers sign-up). All volunteers must be 18 years or older to
participate.
