Join Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter for our annual cleanup of Kimball Junction and the Preserve! Volunteers will head to locations all over Kimball Junction to pick up trash that has accumulated over the winter. If not removed, much of this garbage ends up on the Swaner Preserve which can be dangerous for wildlife and detrimental to the functions of the wetland. Coffee and light snacks will be provided by our generous neighbors, Bartolo's, and all volunteers who participate in the Earth Day Cleanup are entered into an opportunity drawing for fun prizes and gift cards from local sponsors! Great prizes have been donated by Bartolo's, Bee's Wrap, Hill's Kitchen, Keep Nature Wild, & Skullcandy. Sign up by selecting a volunteer shift below. Please arrive anytime within your shift to check in and pick up supplies. Check-in for this event will take on the plaza in front of the Swaner EcoCenter. Upon arrival you will be assigned to a specific area, given materials, and receive additional instructions. Thank you for celebrating Earth Day by giving your time and effort to take care of Swaner Preserve and Kimball Junction! Please note, this project is taking place later than Earth Day (April 22) to allow for additional snowmelt.
