THE 7th ANNUAL GREAT SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED CLEANUP

 

Organized in 2001, the goal of the event is to clean up the watershed and educate participants about the watershed. The watershed encompasses the banks of Shingle Creek and all the land that drains into it, from Plymouth to North Minneapolis, where water from the whole area enters the Mississippi River.  If this land is polluted, our river will be too.  The event is sponsored by the Shingle Creek/West Mississippi Watershed Commission and participating cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Crystal, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth and Robbinsdale (see below for your city coordinator). 

 

April 19 through April 26, 2008 volunteers worked in the participating cities cleaning the banks of Shingle Creek as well as City parks and roadways.  Brooklyn Center’s 91 volunteers collected 137 bags of debris as well as 3 bikes, 3 tires and a barbecue grill.  The City of Plymouth collected trash and pulled items such as landscaping timbers and signs from their assigned section.
