This cleanup is an Earth Day tradition in the Minneapolis River Gorge. People come from throughout the local river corridor neighborhoods and throughout the metro area — through churches, corporations and classes — to contribute to the health and vitality of the Mississippi River Watershed.

We’ll meet at East 36th Street and West River Parkway, an Oak Savanna actively being restored by FMR Gorge Stewards volunteers. Here, you’ll sign in and receive gloves, trash bags, refreshments and directions. Pizza will be provided for volunteers by Parkway Pizza.

We hope to see you there!

This event is part of a city-wide cleanup sponsored by the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board and the City of Minneapolis. For alternative site information, call the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board at 612-230-6484.

No pre-registration required.
