Great Rivers Habitat Alliance and the Open Space Council invite you to join us for a special fall cleanup on Saturday, October 27th!
Our cleanup will be on Saturday, October 27th from 9am-noon. Check in and registration is at 8:45am. Volunteers should meet at Robert Winter Park located at 10553 Bauer Rd St. Louis, MO 63128. For parking, please continue down the road through the open park gate to the parking lot at the bottom of the road. We highly recommend carpooling. Higher ground clearance vehicles are recommended as the entry to the parking lot descends a steep hill and is partially gravel. Volunteers will meet at the parking area and walk into the worksite.
Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
Due to the terrain at the clean up site, we ask that all volunteers are at least 15 years old and that youth volunteers be accompanied by a guardian. Work gloves and some tools will be provided. We recommend volunteers bring a shovel with them if possible!
In case of severe inclement weather, this event will be moved to Saturday, November 17th.
Special thanks to our partners Missouri American Water, Great Rivers Habitat Alliance, Metropolitan Sewer District, St. Louis County Parks, and Missouri Stream Team for supporting this event!
Have questions on the day of the event? Call Caitlin at 314-835-9225.

Mission Statement
Founded in 1965, Open Space STL works independently and collaboratively to conserve and sustain land, water, and other natural resources for the health and well-being of people throughout the St. Louis region.
Description
The Open Space Council is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving public and private open space lands in the St. Louis region. It identifies areas that can be acquired and set aside for public use, and attempts to discourage improper land use and detrimental development. Preserving and restoring plant and animal habitats, which encourages biodiversity, is an important outcome of the organization's work.
The Open Space Council strives to accomplish its mission in the following ways:
Informing the Public at Large
A community that is knowledgeable about its natural areas and threats posed to them is an invaluable ally in conservation efforts.
Advising Decision Makers
Crucial to achieving our purpose is making our concerns know to the political and other leaders entrusted with the fate of our public lands.
Advocating for Proper land Use
The council serves as an organization for open space, supporting, urging, favoring, and articulating important positions in an objective manner.
In the absence of government action, it is both necessary and effective to obtain private funding for the acquisition of lands for the public good.
