iLivehere has teamed up with the City of Davenport on a cool new project to celebrate the Great American Cleanup through Keep America Beautiful. It’s called Cleanup and Greenup and it’s taking place on Saturday, April 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (As a side note, this event is also a celebration of  Arbor Day, which is typically celebrated the last Friday of each April).

For years, we’ve partnered with the City of Davenport and United Neighbors to offer CleanSweep, which has historically been a one-day cleanup of debris in neighborhoods throughout Davenport. However, this year, we’ve expanded our scope. The City of Davenport secured funding to plant 501 trees throughout the City in just five hours! No small feat considering each of the trees is 6-8 ft in height! That’s where we need your help.

We’re looking for groups and individuals to volunteer to help plant trees and/or clean up litter throughout Davenport on Saturday, April 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. As an added bonus, you’ll receive a free Cleanup and Greenup T-shirt if you register by April 1! And it gets better. All volunteers are invited to a lunch, which includes live music and tours, at Davenport Public Works, 1200 East 46th Street, beginning at 11 a.m!
