Eco-event: Great Truckee Meadows Community Cleanup

Help keep Truckee Meadows clean by participating in the Great Truckee Meadows Community Cleanup hosted by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful. Volunteers are needed to remove trash from open space areas and pull invasive weeds from along the banks of the Truckee River. In 2011, more than 500 volunteers participated and removed more than 85 tons of trash and weeds throughout the region. A volunteer appreciation picnic will be held after the cleanup. May 12, 8:30 a.m.-noon. To sign up at one of 15 clean-up or weed-pull sites, go to www.ktmb.org or call 851-5815.
