As reported in an earlier issue of the News-Herald,
the Grand Marais harbor will be the site of a clean-up effort on Earth Day.
Organizers hope to achieve three goals: Recognize and honor Earth Day; clean up the Grand Marais harbor area; and demonstrate that various organizations and entities can come together cooperatively to accomplish a worthwhile goal.
Organizer Jim Shinners has divided the harbor area into segments from Artist Point to the west lighthouse. “I encourage organizations or groups to adopt a segment to clean up, and I will also have some segments for individuals to work in,” said Shinners.
On Thursday, April 22, participating groups and individuals are asked to check in at Harbor Inn any time between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Coffee, cookies and garbage bags will be provided. Bags can be left out on sidewalks or areas near roads.
Shinners is the contact person and may be reached at (218) 387-1191.
