KLT hosting Earth Day cleanup

SANDPOINT — The community is invited to join Kaniksu Land Trust for its Paved Pathways Earth Day Cleanup on Saturday, April 20.

The cleanup will take place from 9 a.m. to noon. 

"As Earth Day approaches, it's not just a time for reflection on our great planet, but also for taking care of our special corner of it," Marcy Timblin, KLT director of communications, said. "Winter's thaw has unveiled litter along our pathways, detracting from the natural beauty of our town."

KLT officials invited the community to come together to clear away the trash along the pathways before it's concealed by Mother Nature's rejuvenating growth.

The community is invited to gather your family, friends, or work crew and meet at the KLT office at 1215 Michigan St., Suite A, in Sandpoint between 8:30 and 11 a.m. to receive cleanup supplies, assigned area, and refreshments courtesy of KLT partner sponsors, Winter Ridge Natural Foods and Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters. 

Those interested can sign up in advance at kaniksu.org, which is preferred, or simply show up on the day of the event. For more details, contact KLT at 208-263-9471.

"Let's come together to celebrate Earth Day by making our community cleaner and greener," Timblin said.
