Hey Cleveland, we have a bonus events list for you — all about Earth Day.
First celebrated on April 22, 1970, it is a national effort to raise awareness about environmental issues. Here are things to do in Cleveland to celebrate!
Cultural Gardens Stream Sweep
Give the Doan Brook a refresh. On Saturday, April 20, volunteers can help keep the stream healthy by pulling trash, debris and invasive vegetation from the stream corridor and surrounding trails. Volunteers will meet at the Centennial Peace Plaza in the Cultural Gardens in Cleveland. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. Be sure to dress for the weather and wet or muddy conditions. Registration is requested, but walk-ups are welcomed. For parking information and to register, visit this website.
Earth Day at Rid-All hosted by Sunday School
Celebrate the day by volunteering your Sunday afternoon at Rid-All Green Partnership’s urban farm. Tree potting, spreading wood chips and planting are some of the activities planned for the day. Equipment will be provided, though volunteers are welcome to bring their own tools and supplies. Participants can enjoy a tea bar, light snacks and music in celebration of Earth Day.
