“This Earth Day Cleanup event is a great way for families and neighbors to be hands-on in the beautification of places within their communities”, said Beth Mohlenbrock of Changing Seasons Landscape Center. The Earth Day Cleanup will celebrate Earth Day with volunteers, businesses and community partners in Marion on Saturday with work projects that include trash and litter pickup to improve our neighborhoods and business properties.
