Earth Day Celebration
Bring your family, your neighbors and friends! Fun for all ages!
Visit our various education stations and learn about what you can do to help make a difference in our city and for the Earth as a whole. The education stations include information on the following:
- Aquatic invasive species
- Prairies
- Pollinators
- Recycling
- Water quality
- Watersheds
- And more!
As you visit the stations, you will earn the chance to get Earth-friendly prizes and are sure to have lots of fun along the way.
Other activities include:
- Puppet shows
- Garden tool swap: If you’re in need of new-to-you gardening tools or looking to get rid of excess (but still useful) tools, there will be a free garden tool swap at the entrance of the event where you can leave and take what you would like. The swap will also include décor and plant-related equipment. No broken items or items too large to carry.
Watershed Cleanup (April 18- 27, 2026)
You and/or your group can start the pickup on April 18 at 1 p.m., or you can schedule a more convenient time. Sign up using the online form below. The deadline to register is Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
Indicate on the map at the bottom of the form where you plan on picking up trash. Specific locations will not be assigned, but by placing the pin on your main route or area, it will help others know someone is there. If you click a circle on the map you can see how many people will be picking up in that area. If on the day of your cleanup your area looks clean, we hope you will consider picking up in an area that can use it. To place your location pin on the map and officially sign up, you will need to know your group’s t-shirt sizes and estimate how many bags you will need.
After your cleanup, you will take collected waste to specific drop-off locations. Information will be sent out on the dumpster locations closer to the event. Please don't leave bags along the curb or in parks. If you find items that are too heavy to deal with (furniture, tires, etc.), report that by sending us an email at environmental@lakevillemn.gov.
