24th Annual Earth Day Spring Cleanup

2018 Earth Day Cleanup (14).jpg

Join us in keeping Milwaukee beautiful with the annual Menomonee Valley Earth Day Cleanup in partnership with the 24th Annual Milwaukee Riverkeeper Spring Cleanup!

Menomonee Valley Community Park - Meet at 212 S 36th St / Milwaukee (Check in 8:30am-9am)

Milwaukee Riverkeeper provides the bags, gloves, and FREE T-SHIRTS, and YOU provide the hands and energy to pick up trash, litter, and the interesting or bizarre pieces of garbage that find their way into our beautiful river system. Menomonee Valley Partners and Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail partner to host and support sites throughout the Valley.

Come on your own or coordinate a team of friends, family and colleagues. Dress to get messy!

Nearly 4,000 awesome volunteers head out to over 60 locations across the Milwaukee River Basin to help achieve swimmable, fishable rivers. More details will be available as the event approaches!

Questions? Contact Ben at ben@thevalleymke.org or 414.221.5509.
