How to Participate

Gather your group and signup to help between April 16 – 22. City staff will provide needed equipment (gloves, safety vests, trash bags, etc.) and a map showing safe entrance and where to leave trash to be collected later by City staff. 

• Sign up your group by completing the sign up form.
• City staff will connect with you to find a location in Mankato that best matches your group size and preferences. Your group will be able to choose when they volunteer during Earth Week.
• Group registration deadline is Sunday, April 13.
• If you miss the group deadline, you may register for the Rasmussen Woods Volunteering Day on April 19.

For Individuals: 

New this year! Individuals can participate in the Rasmussen Woods Volunteering Day on Saturday, April 19, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Equipment will be available onsite and staff will be present to answer questions and measure the amount of trash cleaned up.

• Sign up by completing the sign up form.
• Deadline to register is Wednesday, April 16.
• If you have a small group (5 people or less) and missed the group deadline, you may sign up for the clean up event at Rasmussen Woods. Select that option during sign up.
