Menard County Trails & Greenways Community Cleanup!

It’s that time of the year when we come together as a community to celebrate Earth Day in Petersburg. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, April 27th. Check in a Hurie Park at 9:00 AM.

We’ll be focusing on cleaning up litter in various locations around town, including spots that are kid-friendly, so bring the whole family along for some community bonding and environmental stewardship!

Your participation is invaluable in making Petersburg a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone. Let’s work together to make a positive impact on our community!

We’ve started a list of ideas for honoring Earth Day that are “stay-at-home” friendly. Continue reading “Earth Day 2020–50 Years of Celebrating the Planet”
