National Public Lands Day Brings Rain Garden to Loose Park

Loose Park in Kansas City, Missouri is now home to a beautiful new rain garden thanks to a partnership between Kansas City, Missoui Parks and Recreation, Missouri Department of Conservationand and Keep Kansas City Beautiful with financial support from Midland Loan Services.  Volunteers from Midland Loan Services and the community joined thousands across the country on National Public Lands Day cleaning and beautifying the public spaces that benefit each of us greatly.  Stop by the northwest side of the lagoon to enjoy the beauty of more than 300 native plants as their deep roots work to filter the water run-off before it enters the lagoon.

Another Successful Great American Clean-up^TM

Local Great American Clean-up^TM events gather neighbors together, build community and increase neighborhood pride through residents working together to let the natural beauty of homes, streets, and greens spaces shine. Clean and beautiful spaces also increase property values, reduce crime, and help prevent future litter.

Each year during March, April and May, volunteers nationwide pick up litter, clean rivers and hiking trails, renew parks, plant community gardens, plant trees and flowers, hold environmental education events and more.
