This fall’s Clean Water Clean-Up is still on, but will look a little different than usual to give volunteers more flexibility and reduce the number of people present at the same time. The clean-up will be held over the weekend of Oct. 23-25 at Sand Point Beach Park (14349 Crest Ave) and Jeffers Pond in Prior Lake. Volunteers can come any time over the course of the weekend and will have the option of removing buckthorn at Jeffers Pond and/or raking leaves at Sand Point Beach!
