The Kansas City Plog-a-thon Cleanup is a great way to get outdoors and get some exercise while engaging in caretaking activities that beautify the streamside trails in your community!

Trash left on the ground ends up in our water systems– polluting ecosystems and killing vital organisms. Take time to touch grass, spot and log high litter areas, and clean up your community! More info>>

Be Safe!

Take precautions when cleaning up the great outdoors! In Missouri and Kansas, poisonous plants like Poison Ivy (below) can cause a harmful reaction when touched with bare skin. Use a grabber, poker or anything else to remove litter lodged among these kinds of plants. Remember “leaves of three, let it be…” Click below to find more hazardous wildlife you may encounter on nature trails:
