A stream cleanup was held this past weekend, coordinated by the Kirksville Watershed Management Commission. In conjunction with Earth Day, multiple organizations from the community, ATSU, and Truman State University, picked up litter in streams inside the Kirksville city limits on Saturday, April 20. The event began at ATSU's Thompson Campus Center parking lot and after a briefing, groups dispersed to clear litter from waterways. This cleanup is intended to raise awareness of the city's watersheds in addition to removing trash.
