Join MCA in helping to clean up and restore the Mill Creek at Evendale Commons.
Join the Mill Creek Alliance and our partners this fall for the 14th 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, where in 2016 MCA completed a restoration project featuring 850' of streambank stabilization, stream flow management, and floodplain bench installation. This work has improved 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, complete needed maintenance, and plant more trees.
Space is limited on some crews, registration in required. Land cleanup crews of all sizes are welcome! If you are coming with a larger group, contact us in advance or have all participants so we can be sure to have appropriate tools on hand.
Tools and instructions will be provided at the event. Lunch will be provided.
This hands dirty, feet wet cleanup will occur at a few dispersed work sites. 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 to adults only, please. After the work, everyone will gather under the tents 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 beautiful!
Please RSVP. Volunteers will receive scheduling details as the event gets closer. Contact Linda Keller with questions about the event at lkeller@themillcreekalliance.org.
