Annual Millennium Park Spring Clean Event!

Hi Adam,

We are thrilled to hear of the size of your group. Because your group is so large, we are going to assign your team to the North Kent Trailhead instead of the Millennium Park core. It will be so impactful. Zoe will be your project leader, same cell number: 616-826-0438. She will be in a Kent County Park truck and have all the supplies setup at a table at 9:45 am.

The waiver agreement will be available to sign on site at check-in. This helps us keep track of service hours and these can provide valuable match hours for grants and special projects.
