Earth Day festivities carried into the weekend!
On Saturday, a spring clean-up took place in Lincoln Park.
It was hosted by Ecolibrium 3 as part of their Earth Week Celebration.
At the event, Main Street Lincoln Park staff took care of hazardous items, while volunteers were given gloves and pickers to take care of litter. Over 60 people participated.
“We’ve had a lot of people with their kids people with their dogs. This is a great activity to get outside and something that you can do beyond Earth Week,” Shannon Laing, Main Street Lincoln Park Program Director at Ecolibrium 3 said.

DULUTH, Minn.– More than 500 people signed up for the ‘Keep Duluth Clean’ event on Saturday.
Turnout was up 30 percent from last year as people got out and cleaned. Participants who shared what they found and logged hours in a litter report were entered in a drawing for prizes from local businesses.
Organizers hope it gets more people in the habit of keeping their neighborhoods free of trash.
“It’s just a really great way for people to get involved in their community and clean up the environment, clean up their neighborhoods and just get outside too and feel really good about themselves because it’s a pretty good habit to keep up with cleaning their areas,” said Alaina Lawrence, Co-Coordinator for Keep Duluth Clean.
