Storm Drain Stenciling in Saukville
Thursday, October 13th from 4:30-6:30 PM, meeting at Veterans Park
As the seasons change, have you ever wondered what happens to the leaves as they fall? We all know littering is bad, but ’leaf litter' is a separate ecological issue for our waterways. Join the Community Rivers Program to clean out our storm drains! Along the way you will learn more about how fallen leaves deposit an excess of nutrients into our waterways & what you can do to minimize this! Sign up as a group or an individual; we provide the supplies and you provide the manpower! Registration is available through the Riveredge website.
