Working to protect the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities area

Vermillion River Cleanup [FULL!]

Display Date: 
Saturday, September 25, 2010 — 9:00 am-noon
Location: 
CP Adams Park on the Vermillion River, Hastings

Help pick up litter along the Vermillion River during the low water levels of autumn, helping to beautify this trophy trout stream!

CP Adams is a 40-acre park roughly a mile south of downtown Hastings. Volunteers will be picking up in areas near lakes and wetlands that feed/border the Vermillion River. The park is known for both its recreational activities — such as its frisbee golf course and paved trails — and high-quality natural areas.

After receiving garbage bags and gloves, volunteers will walk and collect litter and other debris that has accumulated along the river and floodplain over the summer months. All supplies are provided and FMR staff will be on-hand for further direction and support as needed. Lunch will be provided at the conclusion.

This event is part of the Vermillion Stewards program, which helps local residents learn about the watershed while working to protect and enhance its unique natural resources.
