Earth Day 2024
Date
Saturday, April 20, 2024 - 10:00am to 12:30pm
Add to your calendar:
In celebration of Earth Day, the city is hosting a volunteer restoration activity at the Willow Place Natural Area in the Lake Road neighborhood. Also known as the Pennywood Detention Pond, the Willow Place Natural Area is a 1-acre green space that serves as a stormwater detention facility, while providing valuable habitat and environmental benefits to the community.
Volunteers will focus on removing more invasive plant species, such as English ivy and English holly, sweet cherry and clematis, to help existing native trees and shrubs thrive. Volunteers will plant out the site after more area has been cleared.

Adults Registration is HERE
Registration will also be available at the event. Light refreshments will be provided. Volunteers should wear weather-appropriate clothing and shoes for uneven or muddy terrain. Gloves and tools will be provided, but volunteers are welcome to bring their own. A portable restroom will be provided at the site. The city highly encourages volunteers to carpool to the event to decrease neighborhood traffic. Neighboring streets may see a temporary increase in parked vehicles due to the event.
