Brightmoor Artisans Collective (BAC) and Sidewalk Detroit will conduct an Earth Day Community Clean-Up from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., April 22. Meet in the parking lot of the BAC. The community clean-up will comprise trash pick-up; weeding, mulching and pruning around the BAC facilities and adjacent public transportation stations; maintenance of Brightmoor Farmway and BAC signage; and preparation of BAC raised beds and Learning Garden in anticipation of spring. BAC will provide clean-up equipment, and volunteers are welcome to bring their own tools and supplies. There will be free popcorn, seeds and music for participants in celebration of Earth Day.

            Program Coordinator Rachel Meeker says, “Show some love to Mother Earth. Brightmoor Artisans Collective is working to create a space where community members can safely and creatively work and learn together to process, market and consume affordable and healthy food using a holistic, wellness-based approach. We envision an equitable, sustainable and local economy based on healthy, locally grown and crafted goods.”

            Sidewalk Detroit exists to advance public life and strong social infrastructure through the lens of arts, culture, collaborative design and deep engagement with residents.
