The Earth Day Cleanup is back! Held near Earth Day each year, our Annual Clean-Up plays a major part in the environmental restoration of the Trail. This annual program is a collaborative effort with Milwaukee Riverkeeper, Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful and Menomonee Valley Partners.
Last year we were unable to hold this event due to the pandemic, so the Trail is in need of lots of TLC! This year, changes have been put in place to create a safe environment for all.
There is a 50 person cap at each site, so we have created more sites along the Trail to accommodate a greater number of volunteers.
Due to the attendance cap, PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED at all sites this year. There will be NO onsite registration or paper forms. Register in advance for one of the Hank Aaron State Trail sites on the Riverkeepers website. See a map of the sites on Milwaukee Riverkeepers website - all the Hank Aaron State Trail sites are along the Trail and start with HAST.
