Stillwater Raingarden Clean-Up

Join us for a fulfilling morning of environmental stewardship and community engagement with Washington Conservation District and Sustainable Stillwater MN. Happening on May 4th, 2024, from 9 AM to 11 AM, this initiative invites residents to come together at Washington Square Park for a meaningful endeavor.

Raingardens play a vital role in managing stormwater runoff and protecting the health of our local waterways such as the St. Croix River and our lakes. By participating in this cleanup effort, you’ll not only contribute to the preservation of our environment but also help ensure these rain gardens can continue functioning properly.

This event is not just about cleaning up; it’s also an opportunity to connect with your neighbors and strengthen the fabric of our community. Before we break off into teams to tackle rain gardens in the surrounding neighborhoods, we’ll gather at the Pavilion at Washington Square Park for refreshments and camaraderie.

Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with rain garden maintenance—necessary training will be provided. However, if you have any of the following tools, please bring them along: gloves, rake/broom/shovel, trowel/weeding tool, dustpan, and a water bottle.

Join us on May 4th as we come together to make a tangible difference in our environment while building lasting connections within our community. Together, let’s ensure a cleaner, healthier future for Stillwater and its surrounding areas.
