The City of Manitou Springs and the Fountain Creek Watershed District needs your helping hands! Volunteers from across the region will come together for the annual Creek Week Cleanup, held September 28th to October 6th, 2024, the largest watershed-wide clean-up event in Colorado. Trash and debris are common pollutants in our waterways, clogging drainage systems, harming wildlife, degrading water quality, and diminishing the beauty of our natural landscapes.
We invite everyone to come out to help clean up litter along Fountain Creek in Manitou Springs, and its surrounding trails, parks, and open spaces. On Saturday, September 28, 2024, the City of Manitou Springs is hosting a local clean-up event from 9 a.m. to noon at Memorial Park as a part of this initiative. Volunteers will receive cleaning supplies and be assigned areas to remove trash and debris. This event is open to all ages – together, we can help keep our community clean and protect those living downstream. This is your chance to get outdoors, get active, and make a meaningful difference for your community and the environment!
