Earth Day Community Clean-up in Chehalis

In celebration of Earth Day, Experience Chehalis is organizing an Earth Day Community Clean-up on Saturday, April 20 from 10 am – 2 pm.  The public is invited to come downtown and join in the activities. Volunteers can check in at the Lewis County Historical Museum and choose from a list of activities including weeding and wiping off benches to sweeping downtown and collecting litter in areas throughout Chehalis. To make it a little more fun, Experience Chehalis will offer raffle tickets in exchange for bags of litter returned.  Stop by for a trash bag at the Lewis County Historical Museum, and for each bag of litter picked up in Chehalis, volunteers will receive a raffle ticket towards downtown gift certificates and Earth Day-themed art by local artists. The drawing will take place at 2 pm and entrants need not be present to win. Experience Chehalis asks volunteers to call 360-345-1738 to register.  Those who register by April 10th will receive a free Experience Chehalis Earth Day t-shirt.  On the day of the event, please visit the museum to check-in.  Participate for an hour or the whole event.  For high school students, this can be a great opportunity to gain a few more volunteer hours.
