Earth Day Cleanup on Eagle Creek

Eagle Creek in Savage is the closest "fishable" trout stream to downtown Minneapolis. It is a beautiful spring-fed creek flowing into the Minnesota River, and supports a naturally-reproducing population of brook and brown trout, including some trophies.

Meet at 8675 Eagle Creek Parkway at 9:00 AM.  We’ll be guided in groups to different areas of Eagle Creek.  Trash collected will be placed in a dumpster organized by the DNR. TCTU will provide garbage bags.  
The event will be followed by a burger lunch, prepared by our expert chefs.  Unfortunately, we cannot offer alternative meal options (vegetarian, etc.) this time.

Bring gloves and boots, some areas along the stream will be wet.  Depending on how warm it is, you may wish to bring knee or hip boots.  We will have disposable gloves available. If you have one of those fancy handheld trash grabbers, bring that, too!
We'll have some water available, but please bring your own water bottle if you have one.

We are looking for somebody to tow the TCTU trailer!  If you have a vehicle with a 2" ball capable of towing at least 3500 lbs, and you are willing to tow the trailer from Savage to Eagle Creek and back. We are also looking for volunteer swith a pickup truck who would be willing to haul trash bags to a central location on the creek.  If you would like to volunteer for either of these, please email Steve Kaukola at steve.kaukola@twincitiestu.org

Registration will close 24 hours before the event so we can get an accurate headcount
