Participate in Adopt-A-Park, Five Rivers MetroParks annual Earth Day celebration, and enjoy a free lunch afterwards at RiverScape MetroPark.

logoVolunteers will be assigned to a crew that will work about one-mile sections of waterways or work at a MetroPark removing litter and doing other earth friendly tasks. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. Please bring your own drinking water.

Wear suitable clothing for the weather and boots or thick-soled shoes. Note: Participants will not get in the water. A FREE T-shirt will be given to each participant registered by April 10; T-shirts cannot be guaranteed for late registrations.
