CANCELLED: Earth Day Clean-Up in Onalaska
UPDATE: This event has been canceled due to wet conditions, possible rain, and high winds.
Are you looking for a way to give back this Earth Day? If so, please consider helping us pick up trash and clear invasive brush at La Crosse River Conservancy along S Kinney Coulee Road in Onalaska.
This volunteer event offers a chance to enjoy the outdoors while helping mother nature, and we hope you can make it! It's fun, easy, and great exercise, plus you'll be able to see beautiful views of the La Crosse River and the surrounding landscape. Participants must be able to bend down and work off-trail on a slope for this activity.
Please bring weather-appropriate work clothes, sturdy close-toed footwear, water, and snacks. If you prefer your own work gloves and safety glasses, bring those as well. We will provide all equipment needed for the workday.
We will meet in front of the preserve kiosk for this activity and will take a very short walk to the work area, which is located in between Stoney Creek Hotel and Kwik Trip #350. Please reference the directions in the gray box to the right for parking information.
