Get a group of friends, family or just yourself, and join us on April 12, 2025, for the Annual Blacks Run Clean Up Day and Arbor Day tree planting event.
You can pre-register for the event using the link listed below. By signing up ahead of time, you can select your preferred Clean Up Day location. When pre-registering, make sure to keep in mind some of our tips we list below.
• Clean Up locations are given on a first come first serve basis. During pre-registration online, there is an option to select your preferred clean up location however, if this location is already full, staff will place you in another location. To ensure you have the location you want, pre-register as soon as you can. Downtown locations and Parks will fill up quickly.
• You are more than welcome to bring your kiddos but please make staff aware at the time of sign up that you have children in your group and their ages. Staff will assign a location that can accommodate your whole group.
• If you and your friends want to be at the same location and do a clean-up together, make sure to sign up as a group. This can be done in a couple of ways. You can do one sign up with everyone in your group and then turn in your liability form later. Or you can pick a team name. If everyone in your group signs up individually but you all fill out the same team name, you will be placed in the same location together.
• There is no such thing as too much information! Please use the special requests section of the sign up to tell staff anything you think we should know about you or your group!
Beginning at 9:00am – Sign in, gather your Clean Up Day materials, and clean up your assigned area!
After you have completed your Clean Up, join us back at the Grassy Lot for a lunchtime pizza party. All Clean Up and Arbor Day participants will receive free pizza! While you’re here, enjoy visiting booth with environmental experts from the area, also known as our Green Scene.
