Join the Catawba Riverkeeper and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services for a creek cleanup during Creek Week!
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services is putting on multiple education and volunteer events each day for the entire week (March 23-30), ending in their Big Spring Clean. They have asked us to host a creek cleanup in Charlotte on the Monday of Creek Week and we can never resist a good creek cleanup.
This event is free and open to the public. So bring a group of coworkers, friends, and/or family and help us make a difference in Charlotte's local waterways!
