This year, Project CAFE announced a “socially distanced” Earth Day event to replace their usual community clean-up.

Residents were invited to clean up their street or neighborhood from Wednesday, April 22 (Earth Day) to Saturday, April 25.

“We had about two dozen participants clean up a good portion of the village plus some of the outlying areas — all while staying safe,” said Village Mayor Kurt Wheeler. “We got lucky in that it was also the nicest day of the spring so far.”
