Adopt-a-Spot in Baytown

A team from Covestro gathered litter throughout Holloway Park on Friday, September 9, 2022. They were even joined by a few special guests - Council member Jacob Powell and his two kids!
When asked why they joined the Adopt-a-Spot program they said, "Covestro has a long-standing partnership with the City of Baytown that dates back even to our Bayer and Mobay days, and our employees are passionate about giving back to the city/community that Covestro operates in. We were particularly excited about the Adopt-a-Spot opportunity with J.C. Holloway Park due to its proximity to our site, and the fact that Cary Bayou feeds into Cedar Bayou, which feeds into our fence line."
