Work Play Earth Day - Annual Spring Cleanup

Description

Join the Friends of Hank Aaron, DNR staff and Milwaukee Riverkeeper for our 30th annual spring cleanup! Hank Aaron State Trail is one of over 90 locations across the Milwaukee River Basin that will be activated by thousands of volunteers to protect the health of our waterways through litter cleanup. There are multiple sites located along Hank Aaron State Trail.

Milwaukee Riverkeeper provides gloves, trash bags and amazing free T-shirts, and you'll provide the people power to pick up the trash that finds its way into our beautiful river system. Together, we can help restore our waterways. Please register beforehand to complete the volunteer waiver and make sure we have adequate supplies at each of the sites.

Register for the cleanup and see meeting locations.

Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, long pants and sunscreen/insect repellant and dress for the weather. If you have a pair of work gloves to use, great! If not, we’ll have some to borrow for the day, as well as knee pads to help save our joints, shovels and other necessary tools. Please bring your own water bottle (water bottle filling stations are available in the nature center).
