MANSFIELD – Mansfield-area residents, groups, and organizations are invited to meet Saturday, June 23 at 9 a.m. at North Lake Park.

Volunteers are needed for clean-up as part of Mansfield’s Stream Outreach Program, Operation S.O.S. (Save our Streams). Those planning to attend need to wear durable work gloves, waterproof boots and insect repellent. Register now at 419.755.9702 or email at: khildreth@ci.mansfield.oh.us.

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.
