Volunteers needed to clean Gilmore Creek today

Faculty, staff and students are joining together today, Friday, April 24, to clean up Gilmore Creek as part of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s Adopt-a-River program.

Volunteers will clean a 2-mile stretch of the creek surrounding our campus.

The cleanup will run from 2 to 4 p.m. Materials and instructions will be given out at 2 p.m. near the Information Desk. For information, call Katie LaPlant at Ext. 6936 or e-mail volunteerservices@smumn.edu.

Gloves and bags will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothing that can get wet and dirty.
Saint Mary’s employees may volunteer up to two hours of work time for Spruce Up Winona and the Gilmore Creek cleanup. Any volunteer time must be approved by the employee’s appropriate supervisor.
