River island cleanup + lunch!
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join Friends of the Mississippi River and Hastings Environmental Protectors from 9:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday, October 7 for a unique island cleanup.
After meeting in the Dakota County park, volunteers will be shuttled to the nearby islands by boat to pick up trash.
As always, all are welcome and encouraged to work at their own comfort level. Due to wet island conditions, waterproof knee or muck boots are highly encouraged. Bags and gloves will be provided.
Following the cleanup, Hastings Environmental Protectors will provide a light lunch.
Specific directions will be given on registration.
To ensure a high-quality experience, capacity is limited and pre-registration required.
