Stormdrain Clean-Up ∙ Adopt-a-Drain ∙ Adopt-a-Raingarden
Stormdrain Clean-up
Do you have a community group, club, or friends looking for community service? Our stormdrain clean-up kit is a great way to volunteer outdoors and protect our water. Spring and Fall are the best times to conduct a group clean-up, due to more street debris in these seasons. VLAWMO provides all of the tools needed for a successful project.
See the materials below to get started. Contact VLAWMO to schedule a kit rental.

Adopt-a-Raingarden
Our goal is to have great looking, functional raingardens in the watershed. Our many raingardens capture and treat thousands of gallons of stormwater each year, but they can't do it on their own. Regular maintenance keeps them ship-shape and easier to maintain in the long run.
Join a team of volunteers to focus on one or more raingardens near you. Learn more about the program and how to maintain a raingarden with the Adopt-a-Raingarden Volunteer Guide.
Click here to sign-up on a raingarden adoption team. Available raingardens include:
- Vadnais Heights Elementary raingarden
- Central Middle School bioswale
- Vadnais Heights South Fire Department raingarden
- Lakeaires Elementary raingarden
- Chippewa Middle School raingarden
- Heritage Estates curb-cut raingarden in Vadnais Heights
- Heritage Hall raingarden in Gem Lake
Adopt-a-Drain
Keeping stormdrains clear of debris is a quick and easy way to take care of our water resources. While many residents report cleaning their storm drain as a routine chore, signing-up and reporting results lets us know the greater impact this effort has across the watershed. Residents or businesses can work solo or with neighbors on a schedule that works for you.
