<h2>Join the Mill Creek Alliance and all our partners this fall for the 10th Annual Upper Mill Creek Cleanup.</h2>The UMCCU confirms Mill Creek Alliance commitment to completed restoration project sites by engaging volunteers and the community in cleanup, maintenance, and education efforts. This year’s event will take place at the City of Springdale’s Chamberlain Park, the site of a two phase restoration project that was completed in 2012. The project featured streambank stabilization with the use of terraced walls, stone lined channels, native plants, and plunge pool construction. Over the past 20 years, the site has held up well but needs some invasive species removed, and like all urban streams, a bit of TLC with trash removal.Volunteers will clean up by land and water and participate in an impactful service projects. Tools and instructions will be provided at the event. Lunch will be provided by Smithfield Foods.Registration for Cleanup by Canoe is REQUIRED (and seats are limited). Land crews of of all sizes are welcome! If you are coming with a larger group, please call MCA so we can be sure to have appropriate tools on hand for your groups participation.This hands dirty, feet wet cleanup will occur in different locations throughout the park. All participants should meet under the tents at the end of Chamberlain Park road at 9 am. Be prepared for walking through thick brush and getting muddy. Please dress appropriately (pants, long sleeve shirts, hats/bandanas) and wear closed toe footwear. Sunscreen and bug spray will be available. The land cleanup is suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. Canoe volunteer spaces are limited and available only to members of the public age 18 or older. All cleanup crews will reconvene under the tents around 11:30 am to unload their spoils, enjoy some food and refreshments, and tell grand stories of their exploits.In an effort to stay safe during the COVID19 pandemic, we ask that you consider staying at home if they are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone with COVID19.
