Cheboygan Community Cleanup

Calling all Great Lakes guardians and divers! This cleanup is happening on land and in the Cheboygan River.

Each year over 22 million pounds of trash enter the Great Lakes. Let’s take action to prevent marine debris for entering Lake Huron.

CLEANUP DETAILS:
Anyone & everyone is welcome! Be prepared to clean up trash with like minded individuals who are passionate keeping the Great Lakes clean. Get ready to laugh and have a great time!

This is a rain or shine event. In case of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we will send all registrants a cancellation email. Please also stay up to date via our social media pages.

WHAT TO BRING:
Warm layers and sturdy footwear! May can bring showers and wind. Let’s stay warm while we help Mother Earth.

Reusable water bottle — let’s stay hydrated and prevent single-use plastic.

Cleanup materials will be provided, but we welcome you to bring your own gloves, buckets & trash grabbers.

WHERE WILL WILL MEET:
Meet at the entrance to Gordon Turner Park. Look for the turquoise tent!
