new date due to flood: June 1

West Michigan Environmental Action Council and the Grand Haven Area Jaycees will present the Third Annual Grand River Green Up on JUNE 1, 2013.  An estimated 400 volunteers are needed to help clean up the Grand River and its tributaries in Grand Haven and surrounding communities as part of what would have been West Michigan’s largest Earth Day service event if not for the historic flood that 

The Green Up is this year relocating and expanding with new and additional sites in Spring Lake, Ferrysburg and Harbor Island.  The Green Up to date has pulled nearly 20,000 pounds of refuse from waterways in Grand Haven and Allendale townships.  Check-in and breakfast at Harbor Island fairgrounds at 9 a.m. Buses and walking groups depart for clean up sites at 9:30 a.m., return at noon.  T-shirt and lunch provided.  All ages with parental supervision or permission slip. 

Organizations interested in taking part in the Grand River GreenUp as sponsors or as formal volunteer groups should contact  WMEAC at volunteer@wmeac.org.
