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 first Storm Drain Stenciling Saturday of the year on June 5th in Cleveland from 9:30 am – 12 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. Registration is required for complete directions and instructions.
We’ll meet in the parking lot of University Circle Inc. 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 watershed in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood. In the event of all-day inclement weather, the stenciling will take place on Sunday, June 6th, 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!
