Creek Week + Clean the Stream

Join us on Friday, April 29th from 1:00-3:00pm to help cleanup the Templeton Gap Floodway. UCCS adopted a segment of the creek through the City of Colorado Springs' adopt-a-waterway cleanup program. Three times a year, we invite volunteers to help us cleanup this precious resource.

1. RSVP by completing the tasks below.
2. Read the UCCS Waiver.

We will meet at Lot 100* outside University Hall (UHall) and walk the greenway trail to our adopted waterway locations. Our check-in tables will be located farthest east near Union. The closest restrooms are located in UHall.
Gloves and bags will be supplied at check-in.
