Join Doan Brook Watershed Partnership in “painting the town” to increase awareness about storm water pollution.
Doan Brook Watershed Partnership is inviting volunteers to help out with our second Storm Drain Stenciling Saturday of the year on July 27 in Cleveland Heights from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm. Participants will mark curbs next to residential storm drains by stenciling the message “Lake Erie Starts Here” on pavement. Information about the signage will also be distributed to neighborhood residents. Individuals, families, and organizations such as scouts, school or church groups, neighborhood associations and service clubs are welcome to sign up.
We’ll meet at the Lower Lake bridge (Brook Road on Google maps) at 9:30am for a quick demonstration and to distribute stenciling supplies before we head out in groups to stencil streets in the Doan Brook and Dugway Brook watersheds in Cleveland Heights. In the event of all-day inclement weather, the stenciling will take place on Sunday, July 28, at the same time.
The storm drain stenciling program was initiated because of the high amount of contaminants that flow into the Doan Brook and subsequently Lake Erie from storm run-off. These include used motor oil, litter, pet and yard waste, and fertilizers or pesticides from lawns.
Free admission. Open to all volunteers. Visit our website to register!
