Sixth Street Bridge Park is located at the intersection of Monroe Avenue and Sixth Street.
Registration is now open for volunteers for the 11th annual Mayors' Grand River Cleanup presented by West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC) on Saturday, September 20.
Staging will take place at Sixth Street Park promptly at 9 a.m. Gloves, waste and recycling bags, a light breakfast and lunch will all be provided for volunteers. WMEAC suggests that participants wear closed-toed shoes and dress according to the weather.
The river cleanup will cover the banks of the Grand River and its tributaries through five communities including Grand Rapids, Grandville, Plainfield Township, Walker and Wyoming. Plaster Creek Watershed will get extra attention.
The Grand River Cleanup was initiated by WMEAC in 2003. Mayor Heartwell joined in the efforts shortly afterwards and has been a supporter ever since. This year, several mayors will join Mayor Heartwell: Steve Maas of Grandville, Mark Huizenga of Walker and Jack Poll of Wyoming will all participate.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
