The City of Longmont Parks & Natural Resources Division and the Longmont Public Library will host the annual Clean Up, Green Up event this April 5-19. The event encourages community groups, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, families and individuals to help beautify our community. Volunteers choose a neighborhood, a park, a trail, an open space or a street to clean up (or a coordinator can help assign an area).

 

Activities will begin with a kickoff event on Saturday, April 5 at the Longmont Library, and will also include a public clean-up opportunity along Left Hand Greenway on Tuesday April 8.
