Creek Week is a full week in March devoted to appreciating the abundant surface water resources that flow through Charlotte-Mecklenburg. The week features free, family-friendly educational events and volunteer opportunities put on by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and our partners.
Come out to Stewart Creek and help clean up both the stream and the street on the westside of town. All of the supplies will be provided, we just ask that you come in clothes that can get dirty and closed toe shoes.
