On February 28, 2026, six YAs from the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Fairfax, Virginia, USA, organized an environmental service at the Wilcoxon Trail, a popular hiking and biking trail in the 3-acre Wilcoxon Park. With supplies provided by the Fairfax City Public Works Department, including safety vests, gloves, trash grabbers, and collection bags, the group worked from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., picking up litter along the trail and clearing hidden trash deeper in the woods. The team also waded into a nearby stream to clear litter from the water. More than four bags of trash, totaling 10 pounds, were collected.
The partnership with the Fairfax City Public Works Department proved instrumental in facilitating the cleanup. The department identified the areas where efforts were most needed, provided all necessary equipment, and allowed volunteer groups to schedule service activities at their convenience.
