CARMEL, Ind. — Do you love pups and the environment? You'll have a chance to support both this month.
Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is seeking volunteers for their Hounds & Honeysuckle event on Thursday, March 23 from 4-6 p.m. at Central Dog Park, located at 1425 E. 116th St.
Officials said honeysuckle has taken hold over woods adjacent to that dog park and snuffed out native plants and wildflowers.
(NOTE: The video above is from a previous report on adoptable pets from Indianapolis Animal Care Services.)
Volunteers will help remove the honeysuckle and have a chance to win prizes. All volunteers will be entered to win a prize pack donated from local pet vendors.
Interested community members can also bring an item donation, or donations, for the Humane Society for Hamilton County to get a second entry for the prize drawing.
