Public Service Opportunity: Lakewalk Clean Up September 21, 2019

Be part of the Nationwide Adopt A Beach program for all of the Great Lakes.
 
Thousands of people participate in September Adopt-a-Beach every year — a day dedicated to volunteering and cleaning up Great Lakes beaches and shorelines. Volunteers head out to beaches on all five Great Lakes for one big day of action. September Adopt-a-Beach is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, so you’ll be joining millions of people caring for their local shorelines all over the world. 
 
Tackling litter and plastic pollution in the Great Lakes is no small task, but together we can make a difference. Join us for Adopt-a-Beach on September 21, 2019 when Duluth volunteers will be hitting the beach to participate in the largest Great Lakes cleanup day.
 
Friends of the Lakewalk, in partnership with City of Duluth Parks and Recreation, Canal Park Brewing Company, and Gardner Builders will be out cleaning along the Lakewalk from Canal Park to Fitger’s.  Additional locations may be added depending on registration numbers.
