Subject: 21st Annual Operation S.O.S. (Save Our Streams)
North Lake Park Stream Cleanup

Mansfield, OH: Mansfield Mayor Jodie Perry is pleased to announce, as part of the City of Mansfield’s Stream Outreach Program, Operation S.O.S. (Save Our Streams) for the year 2025.
Litter, debris, and illegal dumping are ongoing problems. Litter and debris can block water flow in our storm drains, causing flooding. This litter and debris can enter the storm drains, thereby entering our streams and affecting our water quality and aquatic life.
We invite area residents, groups, and organizations to meet us at North Lake Park on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. to clean up the stream in North Lake Park going south through Middle Park, ending at South Park.
Volunteers should wear durable work gloves, waterproof boots, and insect repellent.
All volunteers who participate will be entered into a drawing for prizes as part of the 29th Anniversary Earth Stewardship celebration.
Register today at 419.755.9702 or email Kim Hildreth, Project Planner at: khildreth@ci.mansfield.oh.us. You can also find us on the Mansfield Stormwater Management Facebook page.
