Litter such as plastic bags, bottles, food wrappers, Styrofoam, and coffee cups wash down storm drains that connect to local streams and rivers – ultimately ending up in Lake Erie, our source of drinking water. Individuals, families and community groups will have the chance to get a little wet, a little dirty, and have a lot of fun pulling trash and debris from the stream corridor or pulling invasive garlic mustard from the surrounding banks.

Volunteers will meet at Rockefeller Park Lagoon Gazebo in University Circle near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and East 105th Street on Saturday, April 21 at 12:30 pm. Parking at Rockefeller Park is available near the tennis courts. Gloves and trash bags will be provided, as well as refreshments. Local band The Breakaway Thrill will perform during registration and sign-in. Warm clothing and waterproof boots are recommended.
