13th Annual Upper Mill Creek Cleanup

The UMCCU confirms Mill Creek Alliance commitment to completed restoration project sites by engaging volunteers and the community in cleanup, maintenance, and education efforts.

This year’s event will take place near Evendale Commons, the site of a MCA restoration project that was completed in 2016. The project featured 850' of streambank stabilization, stream flow management, and floodplain bench installation. The project benefited the water quality, reduced flooding, restored habitat, reduced non-point source pollution, and created a new recreation opportunity along the bank of the Mill Creek.

Volunteers will clean up by land and water and participate in an impactful service projects. Tools and instructions will be provided at the event. Lunch will be provided.

Registration for Cleanup by Canoe is REQUIRED (and seats are limited). Land crews of of all sizes are welcome! If you are coming with a larger group, please call MCA so we can be sure to have appropriate tools on hand for your groups participation.

This hands dirty, feet wet cleanup will occur in different locations. All participants should meet under the tents on the bank of the Mill Creek at The Evendale Commons at 9 am. Be prepared for walking through thick brush and getting muddy. Please dress appropriately (pants, long sleeve shirts, hats/bandanas) and wear closed toe footwear. Sunscreen and bug spray will be available. The land cleanup is suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. Canoe volunteer spaces are limited and available only to members of the public age 18 or older. All cleanup crews will reconvene under the tents around 11:45 am to unload their spoils, enjoy some food and refreshments, and tell grand stories of their exploits.

Don't miss this opportunity to help keep the Mill Creek Watershed clean and communities beautiful!
