AUTUMN ANEW - THE BIGGEST STEWARDSHIP EVENT OF THE YEAR!
Event partners, sponsors, volunteer organizations, and exhibitors.
This October, as the leaves transform our capital city region into a vibrant tapestry of colors, we invite you to roll up your sleeves and help us make our home shine! Scheduled for the weekend of October 18, the Autumn Anew Capital City Region Cleanup is a community-wide event aimed at beautifying our neighborhoods, parks, river trails, and treasured waterways.
Every resident, business owner, and other stakeholder, has a role to play in this exciting initiative. Let’s come together to clean our properties, volunteer in our local parks, and join forces along our miles of rivers and river trails that weave through our beautiful city. With peak fall colors as our backdrop, it’s the perfect time to appreciate the natural beauty around us and help preserve it.
UNVEILING COMMUNITY SPIRIT-CIVIC PRIDE.
This community-wide stewardship event is much more than just cleaning; it’s about showcasing our community spirit, civic pride, and fostering a deeper understanding of how our daily actions impact our environment. By participating, you’ll help protect our treasured waterways from litter and pollution—ensuring a thriving habitat for fish and wildlife and a cleaner, healthier space for all to enjoy.
Let’s embody the age-old adage: many hands make light work. So come out, make a difference, and embrace the spirit of community! Together, we can ensure that our capital city region looks its best, reflecting our pride in our shared home.
