Earth Day Clean up at Loring Park - Sat. 4/17

Submitted by Rob on March 16, 2010 - 9:58am.

Come help clean up Loring Park during the Minneapolis Earth Day Watershed Clean Up sponsored by the Minneapolis Parks Board!

Spirit Garage hosted the clean up at Loring Park last year and we were able to clean Loring Park and a 3 block area outside of the park, including Emerson School Yard and Playground and all the way up to the Music Box Theater.

The city-wide Clean Up is ranked as one of the best in the country by the Earth Day Network over 2,800 volunteers at 25 sites removed more than 22,000 pounds of garbage in a little over two hours. It will be a neighborhood effort again this year 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 17th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Garbage bags and gloves will be provided but feel free to bring your own garbage pick up tools if you have them.

If you are interested in assisting in helping at the Clean Up of Loring Park, please sign up with Facebook or contact the Loring Park Site Coordinator Bo Johnston.

Be sure to check out Minneapolis Earth Day for more information and alternate sites (if you can't make the Loring Park site).
