Lakeville Earth Day Celebration and Watershed Cleanup

Bring your family, your neighbors and friends! Fun for all ages!

Visit the various education stations and learn about what you can do to help make a difference in our city and for the Earth as a whole. The education stations include information on the following:

  • Aquatic invasive species
  • Prairies
  • Pollinators
  • Recycling
  • Water quality
  • Watersheds (that’s us)
  • And more!

As you visit the stations, you will earn the chance to get Earth-friendly prizes and are sure to have lots of fun along the way.

Other activities include:

  • Zoomobile
  • Puppet shows
  • Garden tool swap: If you’re in need of new to you gardening tools OR looking to get rid of excess (but still useful) gardening tools, there will be a garden tool swap at the entrance of the event where you can leave and take what you would like.

Watershed Cleanup info:

You and/or your group can start the pickup on April 20 at 1 p.m., or you can schedule a more convenient time, as long as it is before dark on April 30. Sign up here and be sure to mark on the map where you plan to clean up.
