Even as snow covers the ground, thoughts of spring cleaning are in the air in South Lyon. Plans are underway for the 20th annual Earth Day creek clean-up in South Lyon. The community service project will help allow the free flow of storm water within the city of South Lyon, Lyon Township, and Green Oak Township...all located within the Huron River Watershed.

Volunteers will gather at the Seamless Tube and Pipe Company Truck parking lot at 400 McMunn Street on Sunday April 21st for the roughly four hour event. The public is invited to participate by bringing rakes, shovels, trailers and pick-up trucks. It is strongly encouraged to wear a bright long sleeve shirt, long pants, rubber boots and gloves. Safety vests and sanitation will be provided.
