Thank you to the many Samford community members who visited our Samford Landcare marquee in the Samford Parklands today, as we promoted the Clean Up Australia event alongside the Samford Parkrun. David and Christine distributed lots and lots of bags for people to walk their local areas and collect any rubbish, to keep our community as clean as possible. Our hero of the day was Daniel who ran one of the fastest times of the day, then took a bag and walked around the start finish area collecting rubbish - that is gold community spirit!
