Ever wonder how you can do your part to take care of the earth? In recognition of Earth Day, the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department is inviting the public to take part in a countywide service project on Saturday, April 19, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. The project will focus on cleaning and beautifying Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park in Lino Lakes by picking up trash and planting flowers and other plants. Families or groups of friends and neighbors are asked to call 651-429-8007 to register for a specific project.

Following the morning service project, everyone is invited to gather at the Wargo Nature Center from 12:30-2:30 p.m. for an afternoon of free, family fun activities including a petting zoo, crafts, exhibits on earth-friendly practices and products, and more!

Wargo Nature Center is located in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve at 7701 Main Street, Lino Lakes, MN. For detailed directions and road construction information, or to register your group for a service project, please visit www.anokacountyparks.com.
