Thanks to the OWH article by Marjie Ducey, this Flash Trash Mob had several new volunteers! We love how the love for our environment and community is spread! This FTM was a busy street corner/intersection and the crew today made a phenomenal impact. Before pics didn't get done. but the new volunteers were amazing.....10 bags of litter & trash in 60 min! ❤🌎‼ We also love it when curious business managers come out to greet us!

What a great day to create a cleaner, safer environment. First event today with employees from Google who made a big impact at Prairie Queen Lake in Papillion (if you haven't been there, it is beautiful). Several volunteers have participated before and have a knack for finding interesting objects. Looks like the butterfly/moth found the volunteers! Thanks Google volunteers!

🌿 This Saturday — Trail Education Day at Mandan Park!

Join us and The Blue Bucket Project this weekend for a morning of trail work, learning, and community at Mandan Park. We'll be clearing debris, trimming overgrowth, and getting the trail corridor dialed in before the Grand Opening — and having a great time doing it.

🙌 This is also a hands-on intro to our Trail Adoption Program (TAP) — a chance to learn what it really takes to care for a trail and become a steward of your community's outdoor spaces. THOR will guide you through tool safety, basic maintenance techniques, and what to look for on your adopted section. No experience needed. Just show up ready to work.

📅 Saturday, May 30th
🕗 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Mandan Park — Omaha NE

Simple work. Big impact. See you out there.
