Help keep the beautiful community space along the Vadnais lakes clear from debris and trash. 

Event logistics: 

  • We will meet at the County Road F entrance of Vadnais-Sucker Lake Park, across from Fairway Collision & Automotive. 
  • Please register in advance so we can ensure we have adequate materials for volunteers. Safety vests, gloves, and trash pickers will be available while supplies last. Volunteers can anticipate walking through brush, and depending on weather, the area may be damp - please dress accordingly. 
  • All participants will need to complete a liability form, which VLAWMO staff will have available onsite. 
  • Spread the word - bring a neighbor or friend! 

Please register at this link so staff can ensure we have enough materials (gloves, vests, trash grabbers, and bags) for the group. Thank you for helping to protect our waters!

This interactive workshop will help participants understand the impacts of chloride on infrastructure and water resources. It will equip participants with specific action steps and resources to reduce salt pollution in their communities. 

The recommended audience for this workshop includes city council members, board members of watershed organizations or housing associations, and other community decision-makers who are not directly involved in road salt use but who could benefit from learning about smart salting practices. 

This workshop is free, but registration is required. Learn more and sign up on the MPCA's event page. 

This training is hosted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Chloride Reduction Program and the Metro Watershed Partners. Funding comes from the Clean Water Fund and the Minnesota GreenCorps program.
