Open Space is proud to bring back our annual Columbia Cleans Day! 

We all have a responsibility for keeping our precious natural areas litter-free. Columbia Cleans Day is a long-standing tradition, giving everyone the opportunity to help the environment in their own backyard.

Each village will hold its own trash pick-up and nature clean-up event on May 1, 2021 (unless otherwise noted). 

With the help of grant money, CA provides trash grabbers, vests, maps, bags, and hand sanitizer. Distancing policies will be in effect. If distancing is not possible, masks will be required. CA also picks up all the litter after the event.
