MANSFIELD – Mansfield Mayor Tim Theaker has announced, as a part of the City of Mansfield’s Stream Outreach Program, Operation S.O.S. (Save our Streams) for the year 2023.

Litter, debris, and illegal dumping are ongoing problems. Litter and debris can stop water flow in our storm drains and cause flooding.

This same litter and debris can enter into the storm drains thereby entering our streams and affecting our water quality. This same accumulation of litter and debris reflects to visitors just how much pride we have in our community.

“We invite area residents, groups, and organizations to meet us at North Lake Park on Saturday, June 24 at 9 a.m. to clean up the stream at North Lake Park going south,” organizer Kim Hildreth stated.

Volunteers need to wear durable work gloves, waterproof boots and insect repellent.

All volunteers who participate will be entered into a drawing for prizes as part of the 27th anniversary Earth Stewardship Celebration.
