THE
GREAT SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED CLEAN UP
The ten cities that make up the Shingle Creek
and West Mississippi Watersheds —Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin,
Crystal, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth and Robbinsdale—celebrated
Earth Day with the 7th Annual Great Shingle Creek Watershed Cleanup. From Saturday, April 19 through Saturday,
April 26, hundreds of volunteers from Plymouth
to the Mississippi River lined the banks of
Shingle Creek, picking up everything from pop cans to car tires. The photos below are from Brooklyn Center’s cleanup effort.
The Shingle Creek, West Mississippi
and Elm Creek Watershed Management Commissions are sponsoring Rain Garden Education Workshops for local residents on May 15 in Plymouth
and June 3 in Crystal. Click on the link above for more information
