Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day by pledging to help clean up Ramsey County's parks April 25 - 26, 2020.
While this has traditionally been a large group volunteer event, no formal gathering is required to make a difference this year. Individuals and households are invited to participate by picking up litter at any one of Ramsey County's open parks. Volunteers are encouraged to then share a photo of their trash haul using the hashtag #TrashTagRamseyCounty.
Advance registration is not required to participate, but is recommended. Parks & Recreation will coordinate with registered participants to have staff pick up trash bags collected through the program.
Preventative measures
Please practice preventative health measures before, during and after participating in this Earth Day challenge.
- Volunteers will need to supply their own gloves and trash bags for the event. Non-disposable work gloves should be washed after use.
- Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes or boots.
- Maintain at least six feet between yourself and others while at the park. Members of the same household can work together.
- Trash has been deemed generally low-risk for virus transmission by public health officials, however, avoid touching your face and sanitize hands immediately after the cleanup.
