Come help clean up Loring Park during the Minneapolis Earth Day Watershed Clean Up sponsored by the Minneapolis Parks Board!The Clean Up was ranked one of the best in the country by the Earth Day Network last year and over 2,000 volunteers at 25 sites removed more than 17,000 pounds of garbage in a little over two hours. It will be a neighborhood effort with volunteers from local residents, neighborhood groups, businesses and churches to help clean the largest park in the Central Minneapolis community.
The Clean Up will take place on April 19th from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. Special events will include a Toyota showcase of new Hybrid car models, educational sessions on water quality, and Minneapolis Park Board Naturalists to present programs relating to wildlife and pollution.
Garbage bags and gloves will be provided but feel free to bring your own garbage pick up tools if you have them. Also, ten or more volunteers from the same company/group can qualify as a site sponsor for Loring Park.
