Join us for Brooklyn Center’s Earth Day tradition! The Shingle Creek Cleanup has been a staple in Brooklyn Center for over 20 years. On Saturday, April 20, from 9 a.m. to noon, stop by the Centennial Park Amphitheater at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway for this family-friendly event. With everyone pitching in, Brooklyn Center can take part in keeping our creeks, lakes, ponds and rivers clean. Not only improving the water quality in our metro area, but the entire Mississippi watershed all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
We will provide volunteers with grabbers, safety vests, bags, and gloves. However, feel free to bring your own pair of gloves. Dress for the weather as the event continues, rain or shine. If April 20 doesn’t work for your schedule, contact Cynthia at 763-585-7100 to arrange a pick up of supplies on another date.
At the Cleanup event, you will also have the opportunity to learn more about the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). City staff will provide an overview of the City’s program and report on the status of implementing stormwater best management practices. The SWPPP documents are also available for public review and comment at this event.
