Earth Day Cleanup planned Apr. 25

Hundreds of people come from throughout our community for the annual Mississippi River Gorge cleanup. Join your neighbors for this Earth Day tradition, organized by Friends of the Mississippi River, on Sat., Apr. 25, 9:30am-noon.

After a quick sign-in, volunteers grab supplies (trash bags and gloves are provided) and set off to help our local waters and wildlife by removing litter. Information will be available about the local River Gorge Stewards volunteer program, plus there’s a Parkway Pizza lunch and a Great Lakes Brewing Company after-party!

Sign-in begins at 9:30am at two locations: the oak savanna at E. 36th and W. River Pkwy. and the maple-basswood forest blufftop at E. 44th on the parkway.
