Volunteers are needed to adhere curb markers next to storm drains and distribute door hangers to houses along the streets that are marked.
This is a flexible project. You can mark drains any day of the week during daylight hours. The pavement must be dry and the weather above 50 degrees. Do you already walk around your neighborhood or workplace in Fargo, Moorhead, or West Fargo? Let staff know and we can see if those streets need to be marked.
Everything that goes down our storm drains in the streets goes right to the Red River without being treated. The Storm Drain Marking Program was started to raise awareness and reduce storm water pollution. Markers say, "No Dumping, Drain to River," while the door hangers tell residents what not to put down storm drains and why.

Description
River Keepers is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization advocating safe and sustainable use of the Red River of the North through workshops, youth service-learning projects and advocacy. We work "hand-in hand" with civic, corporate and political leaders, local watershed groups and the public at-large. River Keepers grew from a desire to rediscover the Red River’s heritage, and to teach people to again appreciate the Red as a living River.
