IOWA CITY - The City of Iowa City is looking for volunteers to clean up the stream corridor along Willow Creek on Iowa City's west side.

The area has become overgrown with woody undergrowth and cluttered with trash.

Volunteers can participate on Sunday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. on March 30th, April 6th, 13th and 20th, and are asked to meet in the Fareway parking lot at 2530 Westwinds Drive

Workers will remove trash, brush and creek bed obstructions along Willow Creek from Westwinds Dr. to Hwy. 218.

Trash bags, gloves, equipment and boots will be provided to volunteers.

Volunteers are asked to wear long sleeve shirts, pants, and sturdy shoes.

This work day can be used as volunteer credits toward City High School Silver Cord volunteer hours and UI & Kirkwood 10,000 Hour Show program.

If you are interested in helping, please e-mail Carol Sweeting at carol-sweeting@iowa-city.org or call 319-356-5164
