Doan Brook Stream Sweep

Litter is a persistent problem in our parks and green spaces, where it is both harmful to the environment and unsightly. Litter such as plastic bags, bottles, food wrappers, Styrofoam, and coffee cups that gets discarded on our streets can enter local waterways through storm drains and ultimately end up in Lake Erie, our source of drinking water. We organize cleanup days in the spring to help maintain our watersheds and green spaces and to give volunteers an opportunity to demonstrate how much they value our urban parks, streams, and waterways.

To celebrate Earth Day, individuals, families, and community groups will have the chance to show the Doan Brook some love by pulling trash, debris, and invasive vegetation from the stream corridor and surrounding trails and roadways.

Volunteers will meet at the at the Centennial Peace Plaza in the Cultural Gardens in Rockefeller Park in Cleveland, Ohio.  When visiting the cultural gardens, you will find ample parking on side streets, and on Martin Luther King and East Boulevards. You will see wider sections of the road where you can park on the street right in front of the Garden(s) you are visiting. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. Please dress for the weather and wet or muddy conditions. Registration is requested and walk-ups are welcomed!
