Description

Auburn’s 2025 Clean Sweep will be held Saturday, April 26. This event is held in honor of Earth Day. Projects will focus on clean-up, environmental restoration, and beautification efforts in and around Auburn. Volunteer groups will work on light clean-up and maintenance; landscaping, painting, weeding, and planting in and around downtown and at various park sites; and a handful of other projects as needed
Volunteers can either choose to participate in a specific project or can ask to be assigned to any project, in which case your group will be assigned where the most volunteer support is needed. Service clubs, social service agencies, faith-based groups, scouting troops, businesses, families, and individuals are being asked to come together and work on these projects.
In honor of Earth Day we are working towards reducing single-use plastics in Auburn. As such, we will not be providing plastic water bottles to our volunteers. Please plan accordingly to bring your own source of water for the 3-hour event.
